Whenever I talk about feeding patties, I hear people saying their bees 
will not eat pollen patties once pollen is coming in.  

Horsefeathers, I say, but somehow people just don't believe me, so I 
have the proof.

I don't know what they are feeding, but I have splits that have taken 
almost two pounds of patty in a little over a week DURING A MAJOR 
FLOW.

Does this help?  How could it not?
