Bee food and nutritional supplement

Vitality and survival of the colony all year round

Ensure the health of your hives by filling nutritional deficiencies. Our solutions stimulate the brood and guarantee winter survival.

The vital importance of feeding for colonies

Bees face growing environmental challenges. The lack of floral resources is a threat. Indeed, periods of scarcity can seriously weaken colonies. Artificial feeding is becoming an essential practice in beekeeping. That is why our selection of Bee food and nutritional supplement helps you. It ensures a constant supply of nutrients.

The specific nutritional needs of bees

Bees require two main types of intake. They need energy, mainly in the form of carbohydrates. They draw this from honey or sugar syrup. In addition, they need proteins, essential for brood development. These proteins come from pollen. However, the availability of pollen and nectar varies greatly. It depends on the seasons and climatic conditions. Therefore, a dietary supplement is often essential. It helps to make up for shortfalls. It supports the growth of the colony. It also prepares bees for winter. Targeted feeding guarantees good vitality.

Choosing the best bee food and nutritional supplement

The choice of food depends on the specific needs of the hive. There are generally two main categories.

Energy food

It is rich in sugars. It is used for stimulation feeding. This feeding is crucial in spring. Thus, it encourages the queen to lay eggs and increases the population. It is also used in winter. It builds reserves for the colony's survival. Syrup or candi paste is often used.

Protein supplements

They are vital in case of pollen shortage. They are essential for the good health of young bees. As a result, they promote harmonious development. Protein supplements are available as patties or powders. They are enriched with amino acids and vitamins. However, quality must always be ensured. Products specific to beekeeping must be used.

Advantages of professional supplementary feed

The use of professional products brings numerous benefits. These formulas are balanced and safe for bees.

Prevention of nutritional stress: They ensure sufficient reserves during critical periods.
Effective brood stimulation: Protein formulas encourage the queen to lay at the right time.
Strengthening of the immune system: Supplements enriched with vitamins support disease resistance.
Ease of use: Products are ready to use. They can be placed directly in the hive.
Better winter management: Candi pastes guarantee an accessible energy source during cold months.

Frequently asked questions about bee food

Here we answer the most common questions about feeding. This information is crucial for successful beekeeping.

How do you revive a bee's strength?

It is common to find an exhausted or disoriented bee. First of all, lack of energy is often the cause. The bee needs a quick intake of sugar. You can offer it a drop of sugar water. Use white sugar or sugar syrup. Absolutely avoid honey. Honey can transmit diseases. That is why syrup is the safest option. Place the drop near the bee. Let it feed quietly. Then, it should regain enough strength to fly. This method is simple but life-saving. It often allows the bee to return to its colony.

How do you give energy back to a bee?

Energy intake must be quick and easily assimilated. As mentioned above, the solution is sugar syrup. However, lukewarm water is also important. It can help with rehydration. If the bee is near your hive, you can give it syrup. Use your colony's usual feeding syrup. Furthermore, if you find it far from the hive, homemade sugar syrup is sufficient. Moreover, never force it. It must be able to feed itself. Once energy is restored, the bee will be able to resume flight. It is a simple gesture that contributes to the survival of the species.

How do you make a 50/50 syrup for bees?

50/50 syrup, or light syrup, is ideal for spring stimulation. It stimulates the queen's laying. It is crucial to respect the proportions. Mix 1 kilo of granulated white sugar with 1 litre of water. This gives a syrup with a density similar to nectar. To prepare it, first heat the water. It must never boil. Remove it from the heat. Then, gradually add the sugar. Mix well until completely dissolved. The syrup must be perfectly clear. In addition, always let the syrup cool before giving it to the bees. Hot syrup can be fatal to them. 50/50 syrup should be given in small quantities to avoid engorgement.

When and why feed your bees?

Feeding is practiced during periods of stress or shortage. There are three key moments. Stimulation feeding takes place in spring. It prepares the colony for the honey flow. Therefore, a light syrup (50/50) is used. Compensation feeding is done in summer. It compensates for shortages between two blooms. Winter feeding is carried out in autumn. It serves to build up the necessary reserves. However, it is important never to feed bees during the honey flow. This could risk contaminating the honey intended for consumption. Thus, the beekeeper must adapt the type of food and frequency.
