What do honey bees eat?
Honey bees eat pollen. Because it’s their main source of nutrition, you could even call it their super food.

There are many bee supplements available, but it’s important to consider the protein quality. It’s also essential that the bees will eat the supplement.

Supplements typically are fed to bees as cookie-dough-like patties, and bees may not always view them as food. Look for supplements with an attractant to help increase consumption.

Hmm. Dried blood? What were they thinking?
