Feeding for bees
The Feeding for bees includes a range of products intended to supplement colony feeding in the event of a nectar shortage or during periods of low harvest, such as winter or spring. These products maintain the health and vitality of bees throughout the year, providing them with the nutrients necessary for their development and their ability to produce honey.
Main features:
- Nutrition syrups :
The nutritional syrups are liquid solutions based on sugar, such as sucrose or glucose , which bring a fast source of energy to bees. They are specially formulated to be easily absorbed and digestible. Syrup can be used during periods of low nectar production or to strengthen colonies before winter. - Candy and Founders :
The candy and Melting are solid products, usually based on sugar, which can be placed directly in the hive. Bonbon is often used in winter, while the more flexible melt can be used for extended periods. They are of interest to colonies when nectar resources are insufficient or in transition between harvests. - Pollen substitutes :
When pollen is rare or bees need it for their development, the pollen substitutes are used to bring proteins essential to their growth. These substitutes are often composed of vegetable proteins, vitamins and minerals, and are formulated to encourage bees to reproduce and support the production of royal jelly. - Sugar mixtures :
Different types of Sugars (saccharose, glucose, fructose) can be used to supplement bee feeding. These mixtures are designed to meet the energy needs of bees, especially in times of low nectar availability.
Benefits:
✅ Maintenance of bee health : These products provide a constant supply of food, allowing bees to maintain their energy, reproduction and general well-being.
✅ Productivity assurance : Adequate feeding promotes a better honey harvest, improving the strength of colonies and their ability to pollinate effectively.
✅ Seasonal adaptability : Whether for winter, periods of nectar shortage or at the beginning of the season, these products adapt to each specific food need of bees.
✅ Ease of use : The different formats (sirop, candy, melt) are simple to administer in the hive, allowing easy and effective management of colony feeding.
✅ Respecting the natural needs of bees : These products are formulated to supplement bees' diet in a natural way, respecting their sugar, protein and other nutrient requirements.
🌟 Feeding bees is essential to ensure their well-being and productivity. By ensuring a constant and balanced supply of food, these products offer the colonies to remain strong, healthy and ready to produce quality honey.
