My question for Marcus . You said the nurse bees like fresh pollen . To make a pollen frame for a cell builder. Can I trap pollen keep it in the freezer and take it out the freezer and fill drawn comb frame the day I make my cell builder. Will the nurse bees use this to make my queens? Or what is the best I can do with my pollen ?

I’m glade we don’t have a dearth in my area in Canada
We have so much natural pollen we are always greens all summer long from may until mid September it’s full out ❤

No they really don’t even in Canada my bees like it when sun comes up but for maybe 2 hours they I want them in the shade when bees in wild find homes they like thick trees with one entrance and they are always shaded from the tree leaves I use poly hives and I never have heat issues
