Thank you for the information I will keep this in mind. This is going to be my first year having bees.
Excellent! Better watch that colony she might need some more boxes soon! Very nice
Thanks we are already having to make splits!
Great problem to have
thank you. I just got my 1st batch of bees and had no idea how or where to place the pollen pattie
You are putting out good common sense info.
Thanks. 😎
Thank you rocky top for all the information
Thanks!
Thank You!
Cool. I like mike palmer. Great video
Hi. I use ultra Bee and mix it 1:1 with honey. They get on it immediately.
Kamon,can you post the recipe for these pollen patties please? I would really appreciate it! I know that you have posted it on previous videos but I can't find it. Thank you in advance!
Hey, Kamon. I'm in southern Kentucky and you're quickly becoming my RUclips guru for bee stuff.
I got my first bees, a nuc, in early July of this year. I've been feeding them sugar syrup this whole time, trying to bolster them with calories. They've grown so I now have them arranged in 2 brood boxes, 7-over-7 with a spacer blocking off the extra volume in the boxes. I found my queen and there's a bit of brood going on, but not a lot of stores...maybe 2.5 to 3 full frames of honey and less than that of pollen.
I'm tempted to give them pollen patties to make sure they have some protein coming in, but I don't know *when* to give it. As you know, it's in the 80s for high temps these days; is now a bad time? Should I wait until it's cooler and any fall flow has stopped?
Re: feeding through the winter... Do I feed pollen patties and a dry sugar source all winter long, or is there a point when I quit and just let them hibernate?
Very good explanation. Maryland also has a short flow, and I have a colony with a supply and demand issue so it is good to know there is a substitute when necessary. In my case it isn't the availability of pollen, but the fact that I have a very weak colony that is in a recovery period after queenlessness when a number of them died off with no bees to replace them. Now they have a productive queen but seemingly not enough foragers and nurse bees to collect and feed the baby boom of larvae. 🤦♀️ So I may need this is a backup supply of pollen to make it easier. It seems like a can't hurt, may help kind of thing.
I agree, a lot of miss leading information. In colder environments feeding is a necessity most years.

Very nice ,hallo from italy. ..
Hey I live in East in canade when do you think in spring is a good idea to put pollen patties? end march ? middle april?
Right around the time your bees get their first natural pollen we supplement with the patties
What times of the year would you suggest feeding pollen?
Hi Bruce, Here I will feed when the maples bloom
Not in the fall?
I’ve been looking for a video about freezing pollen patties part way through their consumption to kill any eggs or larvae and break the breeding cycle, but I’m having trouble finding it again, was it yours @kamon
Pollen! YUM!
you think your pollen patties are about the same as Dadants or Mann lake pollen patties? thanks!
I think k they are as good and are much cheaper. Keep in mind I am using ultra bee as the base so I am just changing the ratio a tad and saving money mixing it myself
When should I start feeding pollen patties? I live in southeast Texas. Also, what kind of paper do you use to wrap the pollen substitute?
I’m in Polk County, and just got pattys from Texas Bee Supply in Dayton. I will feed sparingly starting Saturday when it warms up a bit. But remember that hive beetles are still alive and moving around. Keep an eye on them for SHB larvae, and pull it if you notice any. I peek in every other day. I need to feed a weak colony that were being overwhelmed by SHBs in November. Had to shrink them down to a 5 frame as population was down. The patties come wrapped in a parchment paper. Wax paper works too.
Bro can I use soy powder instead of pollen powder for making pollen patty,
What kind of patties was that? Where can i get that recipe to make it?]
you have to have thick syrup to make it. 3 to 1. I buy it. 15 lbs of ultra bee and 32 pounds of syrup makes the patties
@@kamonreynolds
I only have 5 hives. Can i make that recipe smaller and still work for my bees?
@@kamonreynolds Hey Kamon, I made a bucket of the supplement following your video, 32lb + 15lb but I thought you had said you watered down the syrup. I used 1 to 1 and thought it ended up very liquidy so I added a few more lbs of ultra bee until it's a decent thickness. Now I see I was supposed to use a thicker syrup, lol. Will this still work okay? Thanks.
hello, can you share the recepe
The recipe is in the description on our last video here:
