Bee Pro Protein Patties

Bee pro is a pollen substitute designed to give your bees that extra oomph when you want them to grow in population. This feeding supplement is a patty that is placed inside the hive for the bees to feed on. These are the meat to your bee's potatoes, the stuff that makes the colony grow.

 

Pollen patties are a quick way to boost a population, but they can also lead to early swarming if the population grows too quickly. Adding protein in the form of a patty to the inside of the colony encourages the queen to lay more eggs to build their population of bees up. This can be helpful during the early spring but is not ideal as bees start to prepare for winter during the fall.

 

Use pollen patties wisely. Pollen patties are also attractive to small hive beetles, and adults can lay eggs in them quickly if the bees do not consume it. It is a best practice to break the pollen patty into separate 1-2 inch strips or pieces so the bees can feed on it quickly.
