Title: Re: [PCBA] Pollen Patties
Meredith,

Two patties would be overkill for one hive. You should only feed them about 1/4 of a patty at a time so you don’t create a hive-beetle-friendly environment. You probably wouldn’t need more than one feeding, maybe two. Once the population is built up they should be able to fend for themselves. Half a patty is only worth about $1.25, not worth the trouble of mailing. I’ll give you half a patty if you want to come by the house. I’m in Hurdle Mills.

Hello!

I have 1 hive, and it’s struggling to get started this spring.  I’d like to feed them some pollen patties, but I really don’t need a huge box of them.

Would anybody be willing to sell & mail me 2 pollen patties?  Thank you!
