Wasn’t there a point made earlier that during spring’s rapid population build up, all incoming pollen is consumed as fast as it comes in? There’s no time for the pollen to start being broken up by the chemical reactions inside the bee bread. So the bees must have the ability to digest fresh pollen. Am I wrong?
