 In feeding trials, bees are typically fed dried, unfermented pollen with 1:1 sugar syrup separately.

>>>randy, i did my best to do what you suggested (look at the references in the articles on your website).  the best match i could find to what you suggested did not do what you claim above.  the procedure was to use bee collected pollen, add sugar to pollen substitute and pollen types that did not contain much, mix with water into a paste, and leave it for the bees to feed on for up to 6 days.  to me, this seems to be likely fermented pollen.

>>>i know you are busy, but a specific cite to a specific study that uses the methodology you cite above would be helpful.
