Feeding Dry Pollen Substitute
« on: July 19, 2015, 07:33:43 pm »
Here in North Central Arkansas up here in the hills the honey flow is basically over.
I put out 2 five gallon liquid syrup feeders with 1-1 sugar syrup and Pro Health.
I sprinkled a small amount of Ultra Bee High Protein Dry Pollen substitute.
Here is a picture of the dry feed, the bees are just starting to work it now.

Do they take Ultra Bee pretty good, Capt?  I can't get mine to take anything dry except Dadant Brood Builder. They'll take that as fast as I can put it out, if I can keep it dry.

Hey capt.

We did mite treatments this morning and my hive were bringing in tons of yellow pollen 6:00am.

Maybe they were bringing in your Ultra Bee. Can they fly 24 miles. :)

Seriously, they were bringing in lots of bright yellow.
