Yep : )
But that would only be if there were not a good natural pollen flow in
fall; otherwise it would be a waste.  Better to save it for the natural
initiation of broodrearing in late winter or early spring.

Difficult if raining.  Hive-to-hive uptake in my colonies is erratic in
fall, so I was disappointed.  Let us know how consistent it is in spring.
