Candipolline Gold is a pollen substitute and complete food for the bees it is made by adding sugar, milk, egg proteins and bee pollen it is excellent for stimulating the development of brood. It is ideal when there is very little pollen available and is excellent as an emergency food but can be fed at anytime of the year the Bees absolutely love it, we find it best to  cut the bag open and place it over the feeder holes on the crown board.
