Things You'll Need
- 1 ounce brewer's yeast
- 6 ounces soybean flour
- 5 1/2 ounces water
- 10 1/2 ounces sugar
- Containers
- Wax paper
Instructions
Mix the brewer's yeast and soybean flour in a container.
Mix the water and sugar in another container.
Pour the sugar solution into the brewer's yeast and flour mix slowly and mix thoroughly. You should get a dough-like mixture with a consistency that is similar to peanut butter.
Separate a half to one pound of the mixture.
Lay one sheet of wax paper on an even surface, place the pollen substitute on it and lay another sheet of wax paper on the pollen substitute. The wax paper will retain moisture in the pollen substitute cake to make it more attractive to bees.
Press on the top sheet of wax paper until the dough substitute has a thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
Cut the wax paper to match the shape of the patty. Place the pollen substitute so that it is in contact with the bees, close to the brood.
