[QUOTE="John B, post: 2469, member: 207"] Hives should be packing pollen Into every spare space at this time of year. If we have a good winter and spring then those pollen stores might not be needed but the weather is not always kind and stored pollen can be vitally important to the hive. Research suggests that they prefer fresh pollen to stored and I think that's probably true but it is also true that they prefer stored pollen to no pollen. Most of my hives have really good pollen stores this autumn and I will see the benefits of that in the spring. [/QUOTE]
