I have feeded pollen patty 5 weeks. Colonies have become smaller becaus lots of flying bees have died out under 10C weathers.
One thing I have noticed. When bees eate pollen patty, bees cannot get drinking water if sun is not shining several hours. And bees get thirsty and they cannot eate patty. They slow down larva feeding.
