- Pollen is the primary source of protein for honeybees. Many beekeepers provide their bees with a pollen substitute in early spring or in periods of dearth. Commercially purchased pollen substitute is a good option but making your own is easy and affordable.
Recipe:
3 parts soy flour
1 part non-fat dry milk powder
1 part brewer's yeast
Optional:
1 part vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon of Vitamin C powder per 6 cups of substitute
Pollen substitute can be given to your bees as a dry mixture or made into pollen patties and placed inside the hive. Here is how to make your own pollen patties: • How To Make Your Own P...

These are the ingredients in Global patties that Randy Oliver found to be the most nutritious on the market. Great video and very helpful.
You such an angle, you piece of heaven .. Thanks a lot for this simple straight forward video.. well done and please keep it up 👍
Wonderful video, thank you very much for the information. I have a question on how do you introduce this food supplement to the beehive? what is the proper way to feed it to the bees?
Sounds good.
Amazing!!!!
Love watching your videos! ty 😊

Hi! 😋
Can this be added to 2:1 sugar water? Great recipe thank you!
👍
I can't believe how cheap this recipe is. I only have three hives and I think I have made enough for the year. Plus the dog enjoyed licking out the bowl.
Is the vital wheat gluten a flour
That's pretty simple! Interesting little factoid about brewer's yeast that I never knew. I breast-fed both my sons but nobody ever suggested brewer's yeast--which I would have loved, as I love bread of almost every kind. I'm assuming you can use brewer's yeast in bread? I'll have to ask my Mom, she makes bread....anyway, I'll pass on that suggestion, my daughter-in-law might be interested in it. Too bad there's no-one close by that I know that keeps bees, I bet they would like your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I'm pretty sure you can use brewers yeast for bread as well. It really does help a lot with milk supply. It has a pretty bitter taste so I would put it in smoothies. It is very high in B vitamins.
Question
One warm sunny day in March I was working in my neighbors garage with the door open. Honeybees were flying in and out like they had a hive in there. I followed the flight path to the top of his broken refrigerator he was using as a storage shelf. There was an open bag of Carboryl insecticide (a.k.a 7 dust) . The bees were carrying poison to the hive. That same careless neighbor was open feeding my bees and his bees corn flour ( beekeeping neighbors). The bees packed the useless corn flour in the comb cells and it molded and his bees died. You really got to watch what bees eat, they dont know best with us modern humans providing so much unnatural pseudo foodstuffs.
