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.

80% yeast
10% soy flour
10% granulated sugar
