Hi Bill & All

I have followed Heather Mattila's advice since I heard her speak about  
her pollen tests in Guelph Ont.  Her results have been given on Bee-L  
several times over the years, but basically showed that bees that  
were  left with their foraged pollen in autumn were better in spring  
than those that were also fed pollen patties.  She recommended spring  
pollen feeding.  I last chatted with Heather at EAS 15 in Guelph.
