Thank you for the recepie !

where I live we find all the supplies in agricultural consortium, farmer shops where they sell everything for farming

Anise, cinnamon and pollen for better acceptance by the bees that's all because some times if you didn't add it they just ignore it just add some more Anise to it and the aroma will get them there :D

[LordAlmane]

after mixing all of the above integrating a small amount of Vitamin C into the mixture or you can use 1 crushed human tablets per cup just to keep them healthy and good luck :)

I got my own mix and it's working just as good as this one and it go's like this: 1 cup Anise powder just for the wonderful and intoxicating aroma. 1 cup of cinnamon powder also for the aroma. 2 cup's Soy Flour. 4 cup's Barley Flour. 1 tea spoons of salt they need some you know. 1 cup corn Flour. 1 cup Pollen if you can get some( I cant). 1 cup Brewers Yeast. 1 cup Non-fat Dry Milk. 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (I use table sugar but Grind it first)
