Honeybees, Apis mellifera, fed a chemically defined diet containing 10 essential and 8 non-essential amino acids and 10 water-soluble vitamins, were able to rear brood for 10 wk. When this diet was improved by the addition of pollen ash, bees fed diets containing 1% ash reared more brood than bees fed only the synthetic diet or bees fed 0.5% or 2-8% pollen ash. Quantitative analysis by atomic absorption spectrophotometry revealed that pollen ash contained more K and less Ca and Na than a commercial salt mixture.
