> if there is any nutritional stress, they immediately cut back on the
amount of jelly.
Great observation, great info. Do you see this remediated with supplements?
Absolutely and within a day, with a good pollen sub., whether it contains
natural pollen or not.
The near-immediate increase in jelly production is quite visible!
I've yet to see any evidence that natural pollen is an absolutely necessary
component of a honey bee diet.
This is likely because I've yet to see an optimally-formulated pollen
substitute.
My recent research findings, in the process of publication, may help us to
develop improved pollen subs,
and I'm currently collaborating with USDA researchers and one large-scale
manufacturer to do so.
FWIW, I have no proprietary interests in this, and only want to help get
improved and less-expensive pollen subs on the market.
