Title: Should I feed Pollen
Post by: biggraham610 on January 24, 2015, 11:57:48 PM
Ok, 5 of seven still kicking, flying when the weather permits, plenty of food, but a couple are small on numbers, Im just curious if I added pollen or sub maybe she would increase brood, I dont know, maybe shes already laying all they can handle, and maybe they have enough pollen, cant go in and look weather hasnt broke like that yet. I guess my question, could pollen or pollen sub hurt? Made it this far just trying to give em a leg up for the last dash................. come on spring........... G

Thanks Michael. I got a similar response on another blog. they are budding here, the maples. Nice today, i open fed some honey at both locations, I guess just keep fingers crossed the small ones make it. The big ones are booming. G
