Bees love it helps supplement the pollen.

Used it when I made pollen patties

It asks about the flavor on the review page,that I can't comment on, did not taste it, but I can say the bees clean it up as soon as I pour it out, are they healthier I can't tell, but they do not die from it, and keep coming back for more,it is a little pricey, but so are bees, I hate to lose a hive so if it helps, more money saved.

I started using this stuff as a brand new bee keeper of one small hive. I’ve had my hive for about 7 months now. I started using this stuff sparingly at first. And now I’ve tripled my doses. Some people use it as patties. I use it in their sugar water mix. I started with just a scoop of about 1/4 teaspoon and now I’m about to a full teaspoon. I don’t know if it’s too little or too much. All I know is that the bees love it. Along with ants and other wasps and hornets. Anyhow, i like this stuff so far. I now have to order more. Oh! Btw, I mix it in a blender with 1/1 water and sugar and blend for about 7-10 minutes until it’s emulsified as a syrup. Hope this helps. I started with patties but realized it was a loss in time and having to open the hive and smoke them out........nah! Just mix it with their sugar water. You don’t have to accidentally kill any bees and expose them to chilly temperatures.

Putting a try of this out on pop up nice weather gives bees something to forage on

I liked it & so did the ants, but the bees, not so much; I'm not a bee keeper, just a softy for all critters big & small. I put out cracked corn in Jan/Feb for the birds & noticed bees (idk what kind) were doing their bee thing with the corn. I googled & learned bees are hungry/starving looking for any food source, so with a little research found this product and made bee pro patties. I put patties in bird food dish but the bees still went for the corn... I think a woodpecker nibbled on the patty a bit & the red ants absolutely loved it. I still have plenty of product left so I'll try again next winter but then again I'm probably using the product in a manner it's not intended for.

I use this as a dry pollen for yards. Bees love it
