Raw means the bee pollen has not been pasteurized. The pasteurization process would heat the bee pollen and destroy many of the nutritional compounds that can support the immune system.

Wildcrafted focuses on what the bees have access to for food. With wildcrafting, the bees are not being kept near commercial crops. Instead, they have access to the area’s natural environment, which generally leads to a broader nutritional base for the bees and bee pollen.
