Is Bee Pollen vegan?

Bee pollen consists of pollen grains collected by honeybees (Apis mellifera) from flowering plants and compacted into pellets with nectar and bee saliva. It is harvested by placing pollen traps at hive entrances. Used in food supplements and cosmetics, it is classified as insect-derived due to the collection and processing by bees.
