Robert,

If you want to try this as an experiment, although it is hardly necessary in
our climate, trap some pollen from your own bees when it is plentiful and
store it in the freezer. To feed it in the way most acceptable to the bees
pour it onto an empty comb held horizontally and rub it into the cells. Then
place it in the colony next to the brood nest where bees would naturally
store pollen.
