3-5 ml PER LITRE OF SYRUP | 200-330 L OF SYRUP PER BOTTLE |
1 L SIZE (ALSO 5 L) | SOY AND PEA SOURCE OF THE HYDROLYSATE |
Oral solution of plant protein hydrolysate, amino acids and a vitamin complex to add to syrup. A complementary feed from s.p. veterinaria, in a 1 litre bottle.
It is the classic of the liquid-nutrition shelf, and also the one most often mixed up with its neighbours. The difference comes down to one word: here, alongside amino acids, there are vitamins.
01 · THE DOSE ON THE LABEL
The maker gives a dose specifically for bees: 3-5 ml per litre of sugar solution. Both halves of that sentence are worth noticing. The amount, because the other species on the label sit in a different order of magnitude — 0.5-1 ml per litre of drinking water — and putting the two figures side by side invites a mix-up. And the medium, because it goes into the syrup you make up: this is not a product for the drinker.
| 5 litres of syrup | 15 to 25 ml · a short splash |
|---|---|
| 20 litres | 60 to 100 ml · a small glass |
| The whole bottle | Covers 200-330 litres of syrup |
That coverage is what decides the size: on a small apiary the litre lasts several seasons. If it falls short, there is the 5 litre drum.
02 · WHAT IS IN IT
The base is a plant protein hydrolysate — from soy and pea — with amino acids declared one by one on top: methionine, lysine, tryptophan, threonine and arginine. Then comes the vitamin complex: A, D3, E, C, K3, the full B group (B1, B2, B6, B12), nicotinamide and D-panthenol. That is what separates this bottle from a plain amino-acid supply, and it also explains its list of species: the label covers everything from poultry and rabbits to dogs and cats, with bees named explicitly. It is a complementary feed, not a veterinary medicine.
03 · THIS ONE OR THE ONE NEXT TO IT?
The question arrives written exactly like this: "is it the same as Promotor L?". Not quite. Promotor L and Apimida are protein hydrolysates focused on supplying amino acids; this one adds the vitamin complex as well. All three dissolve into the syrup and fill the same slot in the season, so the decision is which, not all three at once. And none of them replaces pollen or a protein patty: if what the field is short of is pollen, that is covered with solid protein, not with a liquid for the syrup.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
One litre bottle, 8.6 × 25 cm. Keep it closed, cool and out of direct sun, and make up only the syrup you are going to use.
| ✓ FITS | Enriching stimulative syrup when you want vitamins as well as amino acids. |
| ✕ DOESN'T FIT | Covering a pollen shortage, which calls for solid protein. Or stacking it with another supplement of the same kind. |
| ⚠ NOT INCLUDED | The sugar or the syrup. You buy the supplement; the feed you make yourself. |
