Just wondering but how much pollen can a two deep hive need? I'm watching my two hive in the middle of a very strong fall flow and about a third of the returning bees are loaded with pollen, yellow, white and orange. I assume that this is normal, they know what they need and they have both been big producers of honey with 100 lbs already taken from the mediums on top and between them, seven more supers just about to harvest. Still, what the heck are they doing with all this pollen?
