These patties are for feeding honey bees only.
Brood Builder Pollen Substitute with Honey-B-Healthy to stimulate feeding.
Like all other organisms, honey bees require a variety of nutrients to prosper. Although honey provides the simple carbohydrates necessary to generate warmth and to fuel flight, many more compounds and minerals are necessary for proper development of young bees from egg to adult and to maintain optimal health and vigour through adult life.
Under ideal conditions, bees will get the necessary nutrients in abundance through pollen collection and will maintain a store of natural pollen in their combs for times when none is available. However, under modern management, bees are kept in areas where they would not naturally do well. Further, even in good bee areas and in good years, some hives may not have sufficient populations to forage effectively, others may be weakened by viruses or nosema, pesticides or other factors may intervene to prevent full and proper nutrition.
Bees can handle a great deal of adversity, however in order to get the best performance, whether the goal is to produce more bees, more honey or better pollination of crops, the beekeeper must ensure that the bees never go hungry for honey or pollen. Good nutrition goes a long way to fending off diseases, winter loss, and 'mysterious' dwindling.
When feeding supplement patties, several factors are important for acceptance by the bees and minimum wastage:
- The hive must be queenright
- The patties must be within several inches of the brood
