If you have a breadmaker you can make it yourself. You just have to put the bees in the nut/raisin dispenser.

I am quite partial to a bit of bee bread and will remove some now and again as a treat.... I do the same with the mushrooms mind, pick a few to chew on while I walk the dog!

Molded pollen stores are evident if you leave pollen frame againt the box wall. Moisture condesates near to cold box wall and the pollen catch white mold.

Move away the next to wall pollen frame and put a white new comb or foundation frame there.

If you winter storehouse is moist, pollen cells get mould there too.

What name the mould has, I do not mind much.
