The aim is therefore to feed and develop nurse bees, however as brood is likely to be low, their numbers will also be low. Don’t add more than the hive can consume as it is wasteful and will end up being discarded.Ĭoming out of winter your bees will be older and less capable to take up large quantities of food. Break this volume down into numerous fees across autumn (4 to 6, 250 gram patties).įeeding coming out of winter should be tapered in.
For a single depth box with at least 7 frames of bees, feeding 1-1.5kg of patties per hive over this period will be enough. To do this we recommend beginning feeding in early autumn and continuing through until you winter down your hives. We want to maintain our queen laying as long as possible and ensure there is enough honey stored to last until the next flow or feed. Going in stronger and with “fatter” bees has been linked to higher survival rates. The aim here is to prepare your hives for winter. Knowing these three things you can adjust your feeding quantity and technique for best results. *85% of particles measured less than 108 micronsīefore you’re ready to feed you should make a few observations: This contains the optimal ratio of different length fatty acids, which have been shown to assist immunity and digestive health
Power Feed™ Patties are the only patties available with a flax seed oil blend. Excellent uptake and in line with MegaBee in feeding trials. Rigorous quality control using accredited NZ laboratories. High zinc which is linked to brood rearing, increased royal jelly and immune function. 18 added vitamins and minerals - chosen to mimic high-quality pollen and support bee health. pH balanced for preservation and bee palatability. Advanced milling techniques deliver significantly smaller particle sizes than traditional bee feed products*, resulting in improved bioavailability and nutrition. Plant based proteins - 75% of the protein in Power Feed is grown in NZ. Balanced amino acids with the highest protein levels in the market. The result? The ultimate in bee nutrition a highly effective, complete, protein-based pollen supplement that provides substantial health and productivity benefits to your hives. For more than a year we reviewed, researched, tested, trialled and toiled over hundreds of ingredients. The development of Power Feed wasn’t something that happened overnight. VitaHive™ Power Feed™ is a powerful pollen supplement that not only delivers optimal nutrition to your hive but also significantly boosts your brood, bee health and longevity. Power Feed is available in both ready to mix powder and pre-made ready-to-go patties. Feeding in autumn and spring can boost hive health reduce winter losses and prime hives for the coming season. VitaHive Power Feed is the perfect feed during times of low pollen availability or high energy demand. Smaller particles have a larger surface to volume ratio when it comes to bees, this significantly improves digestion, bioavailability and uptake of the nutrients. Why? When you’re as small as a bee a smaller particle makes a BIG difference. Power Feed is proudly made in New Zealand using advanced milling techniques that significantly reduces the particle size of the ingredients. It’s one thing getting the right ingredients but its another making them work to benefit your bees. BEE POLLEN SUBSTITUTE FREE
