Speaking of pollen sub, Ian one of these days I'd love to hear what you attribute your low Nosema counts to. Keep on buzzing Stepp man.

    A little rubber belting on the mixer and you'll have a nice clean hopper in the end. I had considered a clay pug mill might be the ticket for making patty logs which could then be cut into uniform patties with a wire cutter, but I like the idea of pumping it directly into the sandwich bag. I haven't been able to find any of those bags, so I settled on just scooping my bulk mix directly onto the top bars. I then use the scoop to mash it down flat so the foamy will fit over it. That seems to be the easiest for me. Now I need to find me an inexpensive 20 qt mixer.
