My advice would be Don't bother, bees don't do well on pollen
substitutes, your best option would be to plant a fast growing, early
pollen source close to your hives, as I don't know your location I
cannot be specific, but here in the UK the ***** willow is one of the
best early sources (Dandelions and gooseberries are good too),
alternatively plant a late pollen source that the bees can store over
winter, it is not as good as fresh, but much much better than any
substitute.
