Free UltraBee patty

[jenkinsbrynmair]

We've been using ultra eye patties in all our hives for the last 3 weeks to give us a head start, as the weathers just not consistent enough here to allow the bees here to fly continually to keep enough pollen coming in to maintain brood growth.

In your situation I can understand it - you have commented on here before on the fact that you have precious little forage up there on Eryri until the heather comes online

Just took another delivery... and so have been given another half kilo Ultra Bee patty!

And it seems my bees are piling in the pollen anyway.

Not convinced I'm going to be able to use it? Not sure if they would even take it down if I gave it a try anyway to try boost brood!
