I use this recipe to make up my pollen candy. I add honeyB healthy, and Amino-B booster to it too

After a brewery makes beer, it disposes of the spent yeast. They either give it away or throw it away, or sell it for whatever they can get. It makes a great pollen sub by itself, or you can add table sugar as an attractant, soy flour, dried egg yolk, or any additive you choose. I feed it dry, so no waste nor SHB to worry about.

Ray4852:
I want to feed it dry thru a 3 inch plastic drain pipe. Let the bees come and get it if they want it. I heard soy is no good for bees. This sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the tip.

iddee:
There are 2 soys. One is good, the other has been questioned. I can't remember the name. Maybe someone can step in here.

Yankee11:
So you just get spent yeast from a brewery and put it out and the bees come get it and use it like pollen in the hive?
