I've tested the attractivity of various protein dry-fed protein subs.  The
bees have very strong preferences.

Charlie, after experimenting with dry feeding pollen sub, I questioned its
nutritional benefit to the bees once they had made it into beebread (I
don't like to assume things).  So I supplied samples to Patrick Maes and
Dr. Kirk Anderson to run an experiment.  We recently published the results
in Molecular Ecology.

After aging for a short while as beebread, consuming the sub changed the
gut biota of the bees for the worse.
