>This would be typical during a normal California winter/spring, even
during full almond bloom. A few days of rain, and all beebread is
consumed. A few more days, and the nurses cut back on jelly production.
Many of us feed pollen sub at these times as insurance...
Do you not trap pollen so that you can feed it back in times of dearth?
Best wishes
