Honey Bee Spring Feeding Foragers, Pollen Substitute that will get them going.

Just a quick video showing that honey bee foragers are out and about even in the high 40's and low 50's in search of protein. Ultra Bee Dry Pollen Substitute has proven to boost early spring honey bee health and encourage brood development. If some of your colonies could use a boost, I suggest giving them something to forage for during that critical time when tree pollen may not be fully available yet. I suggest only feeding if they also have plenty of carbohydrates remaining in the hive. These bees are all fat, heavy, and well fed, with plenty of honey left on their hives. I like to encourage the numbers in spring as I'd rather have the bees consume that surplus honey than have to harvest it just before a nectar flow. If you start pollen feeding too early for your geographical area, then you "could" cause a boost in production that can not be sustained by the honey remaining in the hive. Strong colonies will make full use of your dry sugar offerings either on paper (mountain camp method) or in rapid round feeders in a hive-top feeder shim. Above 50 f, the bees move freely through the hive and can access all resources. If you want to offer some dry pollen substitute for your foragers, then this is the only dry pollen sub I personally use. For 10 or fewer colonies, I've found that a 10 lb. pail of dry pollen sub is more than enough if you put it out only on good-weather days: ultra-bee https://amzn.to/3ttbJcA (As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases). Since there is plenty of honey on the hives and I can offer pollen sub for the foragers, I'm not putting pollen patties on the hives this year. You can freeze those for next year.
