Hello to all,

I've been reading this with great interest.

I start feeding pollen sub (brewers yeast, 15% bee pollen and 77% solids 
sugar syrup) in first of sept, ALL the way till Jan 1.
Right now they avg 20-25 frames, six to eight frames of brood. I put on 
about four rounds of  6 pound patties. I have done this for years.All this 
talk about disappearing bees is due to mainly to nutrition. Some still don't 
know how to put on pollen patties. I think lately, there has been allot of " 
blame game" going on about there bees. You mention Jaycox's, funny thing , 
him and my dad were roommates at U.C. Davis. Look at the A.B.J article pg 
843, this is me feeding bees in late Aug because of nutrition problems. I 
pull loads out of the safflower to start feeding pollen, not a normal 
possess.
Just my two cents worth.
