Watch the bees on a sunny day - see if there's pollen going in. I don't know where in Kent you are, but it can't vary all that much and there's been plenty of white (probably hazel) pollen going in around here, and a smaller amount of orange (likely snowdrop or gorse).
Same as W0otz (not surprising as only a few miles apart) - girls are coming back with full pollen baskets, best advice is have a look at your bees on a busy day - are they bringing back pollen? If you can’t see any returning but loads of bees out foraging then may be worth considering adding some pollen source.
Murray McGregor (beefarmer with 5000) reported taking a tonne of it to the dump because it was more trouble than value to the bees.
As I recall (and I may have mis-remembered) there was a quality issue with it. If I was in that situation, I would not want to pass on a problem to others. Would you?
Are you the fun police?
and if the whole thing is a waste of time and effort, why set out and encourage others to waste their time on the damn thing
Just checking we are talking about the same thing here……….Pollen sub is a biodegradable plant based product. We are not talking about spent fuel rods

Fun exterminator maybe?
Does that look like a pollen Patti to you?
