Never even heard of it. Is it just a fancy name for sugar water and pollen patties?

I'm with riverbee here. If I start a nuc with a new home grown queen and 4 or 5 frames of bees I have to keep a big rock on top or they'll blow it off.

Just kidding on that last part but they don't need anything beyond food be that nectar or sugar.
