Hi Waldemar,
I didn't see any patties being fed - I think that it all happens so quickly and that the beekeepers are in a such a hurry to get the full frames extracted they prefer it like that - after the pine flow they give them a varroa treatment and the hives are almost mite free! So it has a positive side to it as well
