On the top of the box in the pictures you can see an orange colored square. That is 1/2 of a pollen patty and that should get them through about a week. It is my understanding that that gives them protein... [I am still learning!]

Many things for me to learn yet but I have been told that you have to be careful about feeding them the syrup to early because they think that the flowers are blooming and start laying eggs etc...

That is how he talks in person!
Does anyone have a good use for the 196 or so miniature marshmallows I have left in the bag?

The HUM noticeably went down. They can't flap and fly with sugar coated wings. Originally Posted by Hirlau
