2nd place – bee pollen
In 2024 we took part in a national comparison in the bee pollen category. The 2nd place result confirmed that careful handling and storage matter even in broader comparison.

Bee pollen awards – results, diplomas and protocols
This page summarizes bee pollen evaluation results of Beekeeping MIJA and the documents that support them: diplomas, official results, sample photos, and SVPU protocols / result records (State Veterinary and Food Institute).
Placements: 2nd place (2024) and 1st place (2025) in the bee pollen category. Evaluation combines expert assessment and laboratory documentation under each year’s rules.

Results overview – bee pollen category
A short summary of each year and what the evaluation typically includes.
2025
1st place – bee pollen
In 2025 the sample moved to 1st place. Evaluation typically focuses on cleanliness, handling and overall impression, complemented by laboratory documentation under that year’s rules.
Evaluation
Expert jury + lab documentation
The evaluation combines expert assessment with laboratory documentation. The lab part provides measurable outputs or result records that support the overall quality picture.
For customers
Verifiable documents
Results matter most when supported by documents. That’s why we publish the relevant materials together with results and sample photos.
Documents: diplomas, official results and protocols
Quick access to materials that support the bee pollen evaluation.
We publish documentation so results can be viewed in context. Here you’ll find diplomas, official results, sample photos and protocols / result records.
How to read the documents (simple)
A test protocol includes a protocol number, dates and the evaluation method—this makes the result traceable. “Complies” means the sample met the requirements used that year. An award is tied to a specific sample and year (it is not a health claim).
- • diploma 2024 (2nd place)
- • diploma 2025 (1st place)
- • official results / ranking (PDF)

How bee pollen is evaluated: jury and lab documentation
What is typically assessed and why it relates to handling and storage quality.
What the jury assesses
Sensory evaluation focuses mainly on appearance and cleanliness, pellet uniformity, aroma and overall impression. For bee pollen, proper handling and storage are especially important.
- • appearance and cleanliness
- • uniformity and color diversity
- • aroma and overall impression
- • handling and storage readiness
What the laboratory adds
Laboratory documentation provides measurable outputs or result records. The output is a protocol / record for selected parameters under that year’s rules. This gives the evaluation a data-backed foundation alongside expert judgement.
These materials help clarify differences between samples and show that quality comes from handling, storage practices and a consistent approach.
What the results mean for customers
How to interpret awards correctly and what they can realistically help with when choosing bee pollen.
An award is not a health claim. It reflects professional evaluation of a specific sample and indicates how it performed compared with other samples within that year.
- • known origin and a specific beekeeper
- • published documentation (diplomas, results, protocols)
- • practical orientation when choosing
- • focus on handling and storage

Frequently asked questions
Short answers about awards and documentation.
Verification
Can the evaluation be verified?
Yes. We publish diplomas, official rankings and protocols / result records.
Consistency
Is award-winning bee pollen always the same?
The award is tied to a specific sample and year. Pollen composition varies by season, but our handling approach is kept consistent.
Health
Is an award a health claim?
No. It reflects quality/handling evaluation. Bee pollen is not medicine.
