Hi: Because of the huge number of requests for my pollen pattie recipe, I have decided to post it to the You will notice that this is recipe uses a 50 lb bag of brewers' yeast. We mix this in a commercial morter mixer and fill a 100 gallon water trough with two loads. I would imagine you might want to divide the recipe into a more managable size. By adding more or less sugar syrup you can make softer or harder patties. The most important ingredient is the pollen. Without the pollen the bees will not eat the pattie. Good luck! Pollen Pattie Recipe Ingredients: 2 - 5 gallon buckets of sugar syrup fill to 4" from top 40 oz. of pollen 50 lbs brewers' yeast Mix for 3 minutes. Form into 1 1/2 lb. patties and put in wax paper bag.
