Is there any sense in freezing frames of pollen/bee bread to use in the spring? I was left with several frames of pollen after combining two hives and don't know what to do with it otherwise...
I'd leave it in the hive, in the brood area between the brood and the honey.
We don't have any real trouble wintering hives where I live, though.
If you do freeze it, keep it sealed and frozen until it is ready time to place in the hive. then one day before thaw it out and then put it into the hive. Down here if I remove a frame from the freezer and leave it in a plastic bag or in the open, it will quickly turn light blue with mold.

I freeze whole supers every year. Need to let them dry out when you pull them from the freezer or put them straight onto the hives.
Thanks, guys. I figure it will be no good by spring if I left it out, even in a cool place. I had no room for it in the hive which is why i have it on my hands. Maybe once it's cold here, I'll move them into the shed.
