Title: Pollen substitute recipe?
Post by: pa-farmhand on March 02, 2017, 12:35:39 PM
I have gotten a lot of deactivated yeast it has 40% protein so i was thinking of finding a pollen substitute recipe that uses a lot of yeast. Does anyone know of one? I got the yeast free so i was thinking of trying to put it to use to boost my bees early in the spring.
