> I'm not clear as to how much can be learned from the above-cited study.  It was performed on small numbers of weak hives over the course of the cool winter in Arizona.

I know, we have discussed this in the past. However, I think you may agree that if costs were the same, you would prefer to have bees on natural pasturage vs. imitation pollen. Even processed pollen is not the same as fresh.

Reminds me of the Impossible Burger Craze.. A bartender in West Babylon, N.Y. said “I can’t believe how many people are going crazy over it. A lot of people have been asking for it, people that are vegetarians or vegans." 

[Only people who are vegetarians or vegans.]
