Yes, spoonfuls are a great dose for a dog. I weigh about 230 lbs. and take a spoonful, basically as a substitute for a multi-vitamin. For another example, racehorse trainers see noticeable results with small scoops like 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup daily. Small doses will make a difference because what you are after are the amino acids and other trace minerals to fill any voids in the nutrition intake from the base diet.
Thanks
I have no scientific studies to back up bee pollen but I do have two particular stories that say it can do wonders. A friend of mine had horrible allergies every pollen season. I mean migraine headaches, sinus pressure, stuffiness. I mean bad enough to miss work. An older guy who keeps bees gave him a natural cure. Sprinkle locally made bee pollen on your salad or whatever two to three times a week and eat one tablespoon of locally made/locally gathered honey per day. Within a week his allergy issues were gone. That has been over four years ago and he has yet to have an allergy related sniffle. My wife does the same thing and she no longer suffers with seasonal allergies.
With the dogs. I had an older bitch that had a heat cycle around 8 months and again at 20 months and then never again. I did not spend the money on a specialist but the bloodwork and vet exam said she was healthy. I waited. And I waited. Same old guy told me to add the bee pollen to her diet, as much as she would eat. I did and within two weeks she was bleeding. Coincidence? Maybe. I waited from her 20 month mark til she was 7 years old and two weeks after bee polled she was in heat. EWO
It doesn't work over night. Use it on a keep and y'all will see the difference.
Another great article! Thanks for posting it TFX.
What about the "shelf life" of a jar of bee pollen kept in the fridge? About how long does it stay good?
Great article TFX, gona start giving my dog some everyday and might as well take some my self to see how it helps with my allergies.

Getting it right from bee keepers is optimal, I have had that kind of source before but need to find another.
hey TFX do you mind if i cross post this onto another board??
Bump up for another excellent article! Thanks TFX.
