Hello all,
What is the best pollen sub for earliest buildup? I have a 50-lb bag of Bee-Pro that I am using right now. Anyway, your input and opinion is appreciated. Thanks.

I don't have the answer to your question but I'm working the same question here.
I wasn't able to use the few different commercial brands i tried as effectively as I wanted.
I tried to identify my challages (mostly SHB) talked to a couple well respected veteran beekeepers, read everything I could. I came up with a recipe tweaked it a little and so far it's working well.
The needs of your hives are probably very different coming out of winter (we didn't get any snow agian this year). The commercial stuff maybe the most cost effective for you but it's fairly cheap to make your own if you have acsess to ingredients.

You couldn't be any further from the source of the secret ingredient!!!!!
