Hi all!
      Today was a fairly warm day(60 deg F) and the bees were taking
in large amounts of ground corn  that I put out to  feed to my cattle.
1) Is this  a suitable pollen substitute nutritionally for brood
rearing?
2) Should I begin feeding a soy based pollen substitute to keep them
out of the corn?
    This is my first spring with bees and I would like to make some 3
frame splits from the strongest colonies. 
I would like to build them up as much as possible.
       I live in northern Kentucky, USA with 8 hives.
 
Thanks,
 
Dewey
