>>>>>but your comment about 2 brood cycles being the max you can raise on
pollen supplement<<<<<<

Having just come from some of the biggest pollinators in the country, who
are using supplements in 1 1/2 lb patties ...4X a year, and have colonies
boiling with bees, I suggest a little caution re: Randys comments. Bees
don't do well in greenhouses so any number of things could be at play in
this totally unnatural environment. Supplements are just that; supplements
aren't replacements. It was a small study, I think. It isn't something I
want to take to the bank.

Randy. Don't you think maybe some are taking an offhand comment and going
too far with it?
