Great drying product

High quality pollen subwoofer. Ideal for spring when you need the queen to lay brood and the nurse bees to feed them. Really gives the colony a head start in spring before the plants flower. Also suitable for autumn when the queen lays winter bees. Perfect for summer hunger

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Functionality

I do not like it! best in food

Something is wrong with this product. I used the right recipes to make cakes for my bees and my bees didn't touch them for a whole month. They're crazy about the syrup I make, but not BEE-Pro patties. So I will return it and most likely buy ready made burgers.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • So far so good

Our bees love it. I dry dry.

Our bees love it. I dried it on a warm day for them to collect but I also found a pollen patty recipe online and made my own to put on top with a candy board and the bees are very good at it. We have a long New England winter, so feeding the bees and brooding in early spring helps.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Not sure

My bees love it! on Food

My bees love it. After reading that a few people said they mixed it 1 to 1 with sugar water, I did the same. Mix to the consistency of creamy peanut butter and sandwich between two sheets of wax paper. I fold the paper and cut little triangles out of it like you're making a snowflake for kindergarten. When you unroll the wax paper, it has the perfect holes for the bees to get to the paddy field. I mix up about 6" x 6" paddy pads with top/bottom wax paper and place them on top of the tallest…

Pros
  • Handy
Cons
  • Good overall, but...

Same as Ultra Bee

I called it Ultra Bee in my video but it's actually a Bee Pro product. I usually use the Ultra Bee but it was a bit cheaper so I decided to give it a try. Anyway, the bees love it just as much! When I bought it in October 2019 I paid $33. The price has recently increased to $50 higher than the Ultra Bee. Regardless, this is a great product that used to be a bargain and I will continue to buy if the price goes down again. Would definitely recommend if the price drops again.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Big and bulky

The bees won't touch him!?

We're running low so I decided to collect some dry pollen to help the girls. Well, the bees are not addicted to the powder at all. First I put something in my homemade PVC feeding trough, after two days there were no more bees around. Scattered a little at the entrance to the hives (there are 4 of them) and it's still there and untouched. I didn't try to make cakes out of it as I was hoping to keep the pollen off the hives. Others love it so not sure if the bees don't like it, it's a bad batch…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Safety
