Bee Pollen Substitute?

[cyberlocc]

Hey guys just seen this Bee Pollen Substitute its super duper cheap, and claims to work for bees and other feeder insects.

Thoughts? Anyone tried this? Its 3.99 a LB vs 2.25 an ounce for bee pollen so drastically different price.

Good question!


Probably. But its like a serious superfood, so maybe not a big deal? Its said to be natures only perfect food.

Spirulina says hold my beer.

Yeah yeah, the diversity of bee pollen is nice, but it's not very potent. At least not for people. I see how for chams it benefits though.

Ok I am thinking as in if the cham eats a few tongue shoots of bee pollen from the feeder dish?

Let me explain better So I use bee pollen in my gutload but I also put a bit in the bottom of my feeder cup so that when Beman shoots at a feeder he gets a bit of bee pollen as well. Soooo would it be fattening do you think for a cham?

They is both on there . However bee pollen is the only plant based source of B12 .

I dont think that would be a big deal. The feeders in the wild, like bees and beetles (the pollinators) would have pollen on them too. Petr is a firm advocate of dusting with pollen and lots of folks have started doing so.
