My computer's been on the fritz so this may have been mentioned and I missed
it. In 07 ABJ I wrote about Denis Anderson of AU doing some work with
failing bees with the result that he ended up trapping local pollen OUT of
the hive and feeding a substitute for it.
In a separate issue the Aussies are familiar with something similar
they call "Muck." As I remember it is the result of poor nutrition and they
have been handling it for years. Hey, down-under....care to comment?
