“Honey bees preferentially consume freshly-stored pollen. The freshly-formed composite of pollen, nectar, and oral secretions is briefly more attractive than older stored pollen. Older stored pollen sources are only likely to be fully consumed once freshly-stored pollen sources are largely exhausted.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5400263
