Anyone have a good recipe or 2 for Bee patties?  So i can make something other then 1:1 sugar syrup  for feeding.

Thanks

look and see if your bees are bringing in pollen.  at this time of the year, there should be plenty.  they will ignore your food in favor of what they can gather and your work will go to waste.
