This pollen patty recipe is one a local commercial beekeeper uses and we are just trying it out. We are not selling these patties but I'll give you the recipe we followed. Most of you won't need as much as we're making so break out your calculator and adjust the quantities to fit your needs.
I'll also include the recipe for Honey Bee Healthy type product. This is a concentrate which you won't need much of but as you'll see we went ahead and made a whole gallon just to have extra.
Healthy Bee concentrate:
5 cups water
1/8 teaspoon lecithin granules mixed in and dissolved before mixing other
ingredients (use as emulsifier)
2.5 pounds sugar
15 drops spearmint oil
15 drops lemon grass oil
For syrup feed use 1 teaspoon per quart
Pollen Patty Mix:
10 pounds pollen substitute
25 pounds granular sugar
10 pounds syrup (we used honey instead)
1/2 cup of healthy bee concentrate
1/2 cup of citric acid
4.5 ounces of cinnamon
2 cups canola oil
Stay tuned for lots more videos.
