It is important to know the nutritional requirements of honey bees and to provide additional feeding in case of insufficient natural floral sources in honey bees for continuity of the colony. The study was composed of four groups, and total 24 colonies according to randomized plot design: fed by mixed spring pollen, commercially sold bee cake, honey and sugar syrup, and each group have consisting of six colonies. In this research, the number of frame/worker bee, brood rearing area, wintering ability, pollen storage area and Nosema spp. before wintering were examined. In this study, pollen group, number of frame/worker bee, brood rearing area, and pollen storage area were statistically significant (p <0.05), and there is no statistical difference between groups in wintering ability. Among the groups, highest Nosema spp. load was found in the group "fed with bee cake". Pollen is an important source of honey bees nutrition. It has been shown that the use of fresh pollen in supplementary feeding is effective in colony development and health when it is rare in nature.
