Well because I am a sucker for trying out things (new to me, anyway), have purchased a tub of pollen sub and will see how the bees like it made up as patties.
I am not convinced at my colony numbers the findings will be terribly conclusive but if the spring weather is as bad as it was a couple of years ago it could be useful, as most of the colonies came out of that winter rather small that year. Picked up well enough in time but although still had winter feed I suspect may have run low on protein. If its a great early spring probably won't need anything.
