This week I made two feeders that provide pollen substitute to the bee-yard.\u00a0 Total build time for the feeders was about 5-minutes.\u00a0 Scroll down to view the video that was made for this project.<\/p>\n

Pollen substitute ( or Pollen Sub ) is fed to the bees in any of several forms.\u00a0 As a powder that they forage for and bring back into the hive, as a “patty” that is placed into the hive and they move it into cells without having to leave their home.\u00a0 I am currently using Mann Lake’s BeePro pollen sub.<\/p>\n
