David,
 
I would be interested in what you would have to say on the rule of Sugar
syrup in the fall, pollen supplement/substitute in the spring.  If you use a
supplement/substitute would you be willing to share it?  I've had problems
with the mix becoming hard as a rock when I've used soy-based materials.  How
did the baby nucs work, are they worth  the extra expense?
