This paper evaluated the chemical and biological properties of bee pollen samples from Romania. Firstly, the bee pollen alcoholic extracts (BPEs) were obtained from raw bee pollen harvested by Apis mellifera carpatica bees. The chemical composition of BPE was obtained by determination of total phenol content and total flavonoid content, UHPLC-DAD-ESI/MS analysis of phenolic compounds, and GC-MS analysis of fatty acids, esters, and terpenes. Additionally, the antioxidant activity was evaluated by the Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity method. Furthermore, the biological properties of BPE were evaluated (antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity). The raw BP samples studied in this paper had significant phenolic acid and flavonoid content, and moderate fatty acid, ester, and terpene content. P1, P2, and P4 have the highest TPC and TFC levels, and the best antioxidant activity. All BPEs studied had antimicrobial activity on pathogenic strains isolated from the clinic or standard strains. A synergistic antimicrobial effect of the BPEs was observed along with the soluble compounds of L. rhamnosus MF9 and E. faecalis 2M17 against some pathogenic (clinical) strains and, considering the tumour proliferation inhibitory activity, makes BP a potential prebiotic and antitumour agent for the gut environment.

The pollen is compress into the pollen basket by using their hind legs. The bees moistens the pollen with secretion from its mouth which helps the pollen stick together and to the basket hairs. The bees enrich the pollen with their own substances and made a pollen pellets. The secretion from the bees contains different enzymes like. Amylase and Catalase. A pollen load contains up to 10 percent nectar, which is necessary for packing [6].According to bee collected pollen is the main source of nutrients to the development of bee colonies [7,8]. Pollen is a very important factor for the development of the bee brood and supplies the necessary foods like proteins, lipids and minerals [7]. Moreover, bee pollen has gained increasing attention for its antioxidant capacity and has been used as food supplement and additives contributing on the health benefits of human [9]. On this understanding the Egyptians describe the pollen as a life-giving dust.Pollen production allows beekeepers to diversify their sources of revenue, mitigating the effects of fluctuations in honey price and enabling beekeepers to diversify their products (Shelley et al., 2018). Pollen is collected with a pollen trap, made out of a grid, placed on the
