Yes.

I've put patties on as early as Christmas and as late as never. :)

Usually.
>How do you make them,with what ingrediants?
I make them from pollen and honey.
I also like to put pollen out in the open in a hive (so it won't get wet) and let the bees collect it. Just a solid bottom board, an empty box dump in the pollen and put on a lid. Anytime it's warm enough to fly they will be tearing it up.
