The best news is these wild honey bees are not kept in hives and therefore not exposed to modern beekeeping practices which can contaminate hive products, such as beeswax.

Nutritionally-speaking, it has all the vitamins, minerals and amino acids of fresh pollen. Yet, it also has naturally-occurring enzymes added by the honey bees, which causes it to slowly ferment. This produces numerous healthy lactic-acid bacteria, known to be an important aspect for a healthy digestive system. In fact, it has a wide range of medicinal applications, especially in cases of disturbed metabolism, digestive disorders and allergies (Kaal 1991). [new report on the importance of lactic-acid bacteria from wild honeybees].

Composition:

Bee bread contains practically all the essential amino acids for humans - (phenylalanine, leucine, valine, isoleucine, arginine, histidine, lysine, methionine, proline, threonine, tryptophan), vitamins - (A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, biotin, folic acid, rutin) and minerals - (calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, sodium). The major components of pollen are proteins, amino acid, lipids (fats, oils or their derivatives) and sugars. Enzymes (proteins) are also present but some, like glucose oxidase, have been added by the bees. This enzyme is therefore more abundant in bee bread than in fresh pollen pellets.

Bee bread has higher nutritional value than pollen mainly because pollen loses much of its nutritional value due to improper processing and storage. Best of all, bee bread does NOT lose any nutritional value at all, due to the fermentation process performed by the honey bees. In fact, bee bread can be kept for up to 2 years without any nutritional loss.
