Good references, Dean.

>>Bees moisten pollen with regurgitated nectar or honey to facilitate packeing inot he corbiculae, add glandular secretions, and inoculate it with microbes."

That was a question in my mind.  I started pollen trapping last season for personal use.  I mixed it 1:1 with raw honey, mixed it thoroughly several times over the course of a week, and stored it in sealed jars in the refrigerator.  The pollen pollen dispersed and the mixture turned into a nice paste.  It tastes just like the beebread I tried from comb cells.
