Old Pollen Patties
« on: August 03, 2020, 12:03:49 pm »
I have some pollen patties that have sat out for a few months. They smell fine but are thicker and a little darker. Are they still good? And is there a way to rehydrate them?

I know bees do not like old pollen, so I would assume it is the same with pollen patties... I never keep mine, as I make only what is needed and any leftovers from on top the hive is tossed... sorry I am no help Jen...
