Hi Everyone,
Anna asks in part:
"Is there any reason, other than cost, which I
will now check, why I shouldn't buy it in a food store?"

Not sure exactly what you are asking Anna but it appears that you are
thinking of purchasing pollen to feed to your bees.  From a disease
standpoint that is not a good idea.  Much better to feed pollen
substitute that can be purchased from bee supply outlets.

FWIW
