BEE FEED
Keep Your Bees Healthy with Our Nutritious Bee Feed
Honey bees require honey and a diverse range of pollen for healthy development. As beekeepers, we depend on strong and healthy colonies that can make the most of the nectar flows and store enough reserves so we can harvest a share. However, at certain times of the year, nutritional deficiencies can occur, which negatively affect bee health.
In Spain, 70% of hives are moved for transhumance in search of early blooms. But the increasing frequency of extreme weather events often leads to poor flowering in some regions, reducing the nutritional resources available to the bees. This is when nutritional supplementation becomes essential to prevent malnutrition and its consequences.
Given the wide variety of supplementary feeds available on the market, it’s vital to understand what the bees actually need, which deficiencies we want to address, and when to provide support.
To make these decisions wisely, we need access to good information. The product label will show the ingredients and the basic nutritional composition, which gives us a first impression. But we need to go further: always ask for the technical data sheet. That’s where you’ll find essential details like the sugar types, amino acids, whether it contains vitamins, and in what amounts.
Practical tip: Feed if necessary — but before you feed, read the technical data sheet.
