This pollen patty recipe is one a local commercial beekeeper uses and we are just trying it out. We are not selling these patties but I'll give you the recipe we followed. Most of you won't need as much as we're making so break out your calculator and adjust the quantities to fit your needs.
I'll also include the recipe for Honey Bee Healthy type product. This is a concentrate which you won't need much of but as you'll see we went ahead and made a whole gallon just to have extra.
Healthy Bee concentrate:
5 cups water
1/8 teaspoon lecithin granules mixed in and dissolved before mixing other
ingredients (use as emulsifier)
2.5 pounds sugar
15 drops spearmint oil
15 drops lemon grass oil
For syrup feed use 1 teaspoon per quart
Pollen Patty Mix:
10 pounds pollen substitute
25 pounds granular sugar
10 pounds syrup (we used honey instead)
1/2 cup of healthy bee concentrate
1/2 cup of citric acid
4.5 ounces of cinnamon
2 cups canola oil
Stay tuned for lots more videos.

I'm a 2nd year law student. Whenever exams, class or homework begin to stress me out I watch a few of your videos. They are entertaining, wholesome, educational and for some reason really relaxing to me. Thank you for sharing with us your hobby beekeeping way of life!
I love watching you guys! You make me laugh! And that's what we all need right now!!!
So glad to bring some joy. Thanks for watching.
Cherish these times you have with your family!
This yankee grew up watching Justin Wilson on tv with my dad. “Wooo wee!” Nice to see your pops out and about tending bees.
The other day, my mom told me that Justin was my grandfather's favorite show - which started in 1971. That explains him always saying "I gar-un-tee it."
@@jeffbecker8716 That was my dad's favorite saying. If I heard it once I heard it a million times. Trust me when I say I heard it a million times.
"Let me told you a story"...
If you all hear someone say that shut up and listen...
im in canada and i think i remember him....was he a older guy who use to say Onions funny, like ownions. I seem to remember suspenders. Heheheheheheh
I remember watching Justin Wlson as a kid and him measuring in his hands. He'd say don't believe me this is a 1/4 spoon. He'd transfer it to a spoon and be right everytime. Always blew my mind. He was also funny as all heck.
I don`t follow recipes when i cook. Well, except when making rice.
It don't matter how good you measure if you're making biscuits with baking powder that expired nine years ago.
Love your videos. This was cool to see all the bees coming back with pollen!
Just spoiling us with all this content. 2020 is a good year so far!
Just banging them out before we get too busy. In two months one a week will be hard.
Hello there DirtRooster. I had no idea that pollen patties existed before watching you video, so I've learned something new thanks to you. Your bees look velvety and healthy and happy. Thank you for sharing and see you soon.
Enlightenment, it's what I do. LOL
Great job from a wonderful family.
Thank you so much Tom!
Good to see that dad is still working with his sons. :)
Always good to see you working for the bees with your family. Hugs to all! The topic is a great one, with the recipe shared, the process shown, and certain precautions demonstrated in the best way! Love to see your bees eating pollen patties and bringing in the first pollen of the year. Happy New Year for sure for sure!
Thanks Rooster, I never know what to say when someone likes my comments, but I never want to take it for granted. You are the best!
I remember Justin Wilson talking about his dog “Phydeaux”, (Fido). Chemistry can be very dangerous business and it’s always wise to wear your optic orange t-shirt to warn unsuspecting members of the general public of potential hazards from noxious gases and blender mishaps.
I’m a Londoner from England and though I’ve been to USA several times, I certainly know where I’m heading next!!.
Thanks for sharing fellas, great information and even better laughs.I envy your pace of life
Bringing in pollen day after Stephens day here in South of Ireland, unreal! Love to see what is going on at the same time in your neck of the woods thanks again guy's!
Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. You remind me of family...lol Keep it up!
Love seeing the videos with your dad . You got to cherish every moment
Grew up with Justin Wilson! He taught me how to fry a turkey, Cajun Style!!!
Thanks for posting the recipes.
Reminds me of a canadian beekeepers blog. He blocks the path with his truck and theres literally millions of bees flying into each other when he moves.
I loved watching justin wilson while i was growing up. My grandmother and i would watch him everytime he was on. Oh how i miss those days.
Ya’ll crack me up!!! I bet there’s never a dull moment when ya’ll get together! Be blessed!!!
How Y’all Are ??? Love Mr Justin. Thanks to TH-cam I can watch him and Jerry Clower both of them always made me laugh when I was a kid
The family dynamic is so wonderful to see. And I just love the quick wit you all have! Had me laughing when weighing the sugar. "Says it right here on the scale. Look, It says Tare." That was awesome! Love the content! Thanks for sharing.
Where beekeeping is a way of life!
I remember my favorite Cajun cook. I learned a lot from him growing up. I also am needing a great winter feeding recipe for bees but i am in the snow country.
We are chomping at the bit waiting for spring to get here so that we can get back to the bees. We are in central Maine so at the moment they are all tucked in for the winter. Thanks for sharing. We definitely appreciate the mentoring you provide the bee community.
The cinnamon trail thing your dad was talking about actually does work! We’ve been buying bulk ground cinnamon for our family ranch since dirt. Some tv bug guy said that they cannot “breathe” through the cinnamon dust. Regardless, works for us!
Glad to see Tommy and your Dad. Good to see their doing ok. Happy New year to all of you.
Great video- laughed so hard at you guys measuring all your ingredients. Look at all the green where you live- grass and bushes. Wyoming is cold, snowy - brrrrr. We will thaw out eventually. Love watching you with those wonderful bees.
Hard working critters. Be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family brother Amen 🙏.
Justin "I guarantee" Wilson ... Loved that guy
Lived in New Orleans at the time he was doing his thing, everyone knew he wasn't Cajun but we loved him anyway, he had a good run!
Justin Wilson was fantastic!! Loved him!! Saw him in person in Chicago!
Very good video DirtRooster. I enjoyed watching it.
Y'all are talking about an early spring and we still got three months to go LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting video! I've just joined my local county apiary club and I can't wait till springtime to start working with my girls. Been watching your videos for a couple years now and I've learned a lot from you and Mr. Ed. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming! Be safe, keep a goin!!!
PS Justin Wilson is my idol when it comes to Southern Cajun cookin!!!
That was a GREAT laugh!!!
It is really cool to see your Dad and family. 💙
Awesome video! Thanks for the recipe. Although I don't YET have bee's, I'm watching as many videos as I can, to learn as much as possible.
Loved Justin Wilson too! Also love that restaurant mixer...
Man your videos make me wish I could keep my own bees. Don't think I have the space for em though. Sure would do my garden a world of good tho...
Thanks for sharing Both recipes. Will Definitely save this for our spring time feeding ( April-May)
Great video. I am glad to see your Dad and Bro. Your Dad looks good. Bless you all. Have a great year. Tim
Justin Wilson had a saltine cracker salad recipe, to the best my memory can recall 30 yrs later, my mama and I tried it . The salt he called for was enough to call the cows in. I grew up watching him on PBS.
Jealous, it's 6 degrees F in NE Will try this pollen patty out, I add anise oil to mine and they do prefer that over store bought. Thanks for sharing
Randy that hive was a big ass hive, nice to see all your new videos in 2020. I am also glad to see your dad. he looks good man. also good to see your brother and carpenter friend. Looking forward to a great year of videos. Gods grace in the year 2020. your fan and friend Keith.
Great video Randy. Its good to see your Dad up and about. I think all those bees found a hole in your pollen sub bag, :)
Some happy bees right dar. I Gua-ran-tee (in a Justin Wilson voice)
Good to see your dad out and about. :)
I love Justin Wilson. "Put a lil more wine in dat chef".
Early Spring! I believe Dirt Rooster and his bees anyday over a groundhog!
:)
Am jus watching this Video for the second time,,learning the recipe,,hoping and praying I catch a Swarm this Season,,difficult to find a wild colony,,,Randy has a Huge Sense of Humor,,Would Spend Days Around Him Joking about Everything,,,🇱🇨👊👍🖤
No early spring here in north Alabama high in the 30s low in the 20s next week. Been in the 70s for a few days and everything is trying to bud out and flowers trying to bloom. Great video yall had fun making that i am sure .🐝👍
It's 19 tonight, after being 55 in the afternoon. We got freezing rain/snow coming Friday night, then it's supposed to be 45 Saturday with all day rain, and barely 30 on Sunday here in SW Ohio. Honestly, I don't know what freakin' season it is!
Good to see ur dad back after it ill definitely keep this in mind went I need some pollen patties
I used to love watching Justin Wilson as a kid. He always measured 1 teaspoon in his hand.
And was right on with his measurements too. lol
I gar-on-tee I remember Justin Wilson! He was the best, and what convinced me to give Cajun food a try. I still love it to this day.
The gals look so cute with their pollen stockings 😂
You still remain my most watched channel on you tube.
Oh yeah! I watched Justin Wilson! Even here in PA I wanted gumbo and my mother had no idea! For years as a kid. Before cable, wasn’t much on tv during the mid-day if you were off school or home sick. All those PBS cooking shows were what I watched.
I remember Justin Wilson!! Loved watching his show!
Thank you for saying Justin Wilson's name. I've been trying to remember it for a while now because I've been wanting to find some of his recipes. I used to love watching him.
Glad to see your dad helping.
Thanks for the recipes Rooster. And for you where hobby beekeeping is a way of life in francais ......... où l’apiculture passé-temps est un mode de vie. I gare...on....teeeeee! Like Mr Wilson said.
Pollen patties produces professional pure honey production particularly propagating pretty pure liquid gold.
I buy my patties they’re the same recipe as you use ! I only run 27 hives at all times . All I have room for I sell nucs when I need too split ... been using one every spring since I started keeping bees love it and oh my do my hives start strong 💪🏽! I now officially have left my normal work too tend bees grow mushrooms and sell at farmers markets full time honey pollen wax products mushrooms!
Glad to see Jeff loaned ya'll his shop :)
We had to haul in some old equipment and knock some holes in the walls to make it feel like home.
I remember Justin Wilson! My Daddy used to love that Cajun accent. Gare-on-tee!
Got inspired by your post on fb earlier and made a patty for my weaker hives from honey and pollen substitute... found one dead out and stored that hive away... lazy bees meet lazy beekeeper...
I can't wait for my bees!
I wonder if my local bee seller would appriciate me volunteering to help him here & there? You guys are always so busy!
I'm sure they would.
@@628DirtRooster I just emailed him my offer to volunteer. Can I ask you a question?
I'm doing bees when my Nuc is ready. I have used hives & am putting new wax foundations in.
Should I buy some drone foundations & some smaller celled foundations? Or is it just any wax foundation?
@@gotskinn Any worker foundation is fine.
Never knew making pollen patties could be so much fun, but I have to do mine without all the he’p.
Thank you for this!
I am from Ohio and I know Justin! Loved his stories while he cooked!
Nice to see your dad doing well!!!
LOL cracked my up good! got me in tears.
Omg I love this. So gald you not baking a cake. Lol. Bless ya from New Zealand
Thank you, PROUD of Y'ALL
Your Daddy is a hoot. The boys are arguing and he just sits there letting them have at it. I bet Momma wouldn't put up with it. LOL To other beekeepers, do NOT do this in mamma's kitchen!
Interesting, even for a non-beekeeper.
Justin Wilson was cool. He’d measure salt in his hand and put it back in the teaspoon to show you he measured right. I’ll be making some this weekend. Not that big of batch size though. That mixer is a beast. That concrete core rolling pin is a great idea. I have some of those. 👍👍🐝🐝
That mixer could drill to China with the right bit.
You guys giggling when the cup got snatched out of his hand made me "laugh out loud"!
Nice job
When I lived in Livingston Parish, N.E. of Baton Rouge, Justin was my neighbor!
Now I live in a different world, Oklahoma.
Loved watching Justin Wilson, he was a hoot!
Cool things with cool bees .
This might already be mentioned but if you'll dump that oil into the picture and swirl it around a bit and then dump the honey in. All the honey I'll just slide right out with no scraping and no waiting forever for it to drip on out. Great video. Thanks for sharing the recipe and the laughs
Good idea
Justin Wilson….”Wut kinna wine go in dis roux? Da kind you like da bess, dats da kind.”
Just another day in Paradise. New Subscriber here. Good videos!
Love your Dad's orange check shirt.
I love watching your videos, y9, your family and friends are so entertaining
Miss Justin Wilson , onyon was my favorite word he said all the time, still watch his videos.
Great video lots of good laughs :)
Now that’s a rolling pin don’t let my wife get one of them kind
Justin was the greatest. ''I gha-rawn-tee! ''
Great job
I was thinking that cup is going into the mixer if he isnt careful right before it did just that. =P
Liadara same here. Lol
With your layout problem, it makes me think that would be a great project for some grad student in operations management or engineering figuring out the most practical layout for your production line. It's small enough scale to no be overwhelming, but allows one to put classroom learning into practical application and how what sometimes looks great in theory doesn't work in practice given limitations on budget, time, or building dimensions. If you guys are still fiddling with the layout, maybe reach out to an operations management professor at MSU, Jackson State, or Mississippi and see if they have a grad student who might be interested in that as their thesis or dissertation.
Good idea. I wouldn’t have thought of that.
This is classic family fun! 😂😂
Haha! It is.
I have been seeing bees bring in pollen for about a week here. I am a couple hours north of you. I better get ready for spring because i think its gonna be wild
This was interesting, even for a non-beekeper.
Note: Do NOT do this in Mamma's kitchen.
That takes all the fun out of life!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
@@joerowland607 Yes, well this Mama would be right ticked off.
@@vmcougarintn5035 now now don't get yer tail feathers all knotted up(in the gracious words of Festus if your a Gunsmoke fan)
@@joerowland607 Joe, you made me laugh! Festus,? No my grandfather always used that expression. LOL
@@vmcougarintn5035 😀😀😀. I remember Festus telling some character that. It seemed a perfect statement for the moment. Both in the show and as a reply to you. Glad I made you smile.
Around where I live in coastal SC and GA the beekeeping teachers say to forget pollen patty it just feeds the hive beetles. It has to be all about the timing of using them and they steer beginners away from using them.
There are techniques to keep hive beetles from taking advantage. Hive beetles are at their lowest numbers in early spring so it's pretty safe to use them then.
I heard those bees! They said "Hey, can you get out of the way, I'm WORKING here!"
I remember Justin Wilson “Yeah Boy”
Great job and video
Glad you enjoyed it
I cant wait to be a beekeeper one day
