Hello all,

Spring is finally arriving, and I need to begin thinking about building up
my bees for the coming season.  I would like to start feeding patties, but
have a couple question about the ingredients I hope someone can answer.

Soybean flour - Is this also called soybean meal?  48 % (protein) soybean
meal can be purchased from feed stores around here quite easily.  It is not
the expeller process, and I do not know if it has been toasted.  Is this ok?

Brewers yeast - Anything special about this?  It is also available, though
alot more expensive than the soybean meal.

Mild powder - Will regular powdered milk do?  Do you get it from a feed
store or a grocery store?  Is it really necessary?

I also have Mann Lake Pollen substitute here.  What comination of
ingredients do I use to make the patties?  Any advice would be greatly
appreciated!!

Sincerely,

Carmenie
