1. Bee Build
Complete Pollen Replacement
Bee Build with or without Irradiated pollen (90% of sales are with minimum pollen). We have found that when feeding in the open you need that little bit of pollen to attract the bees to the feed station. (Bee Build without pollen upon request only)
Available in bags of:
- 5KG – $48.00*
- 10kg – $91.00* (post or bus freight)
- 20kg – $176.00* (post or bus freight)
- 25 kg – $220.00* (road, rail or pick up)
(Discounts apply to bulk orders)
*Please note: postage/freight additional. GST included.
2. Bee Build Protein Sausages
Bee Build Protein Sausage, comes in a plastic sausage skin & is a protein pattie for internal feeding on top of or between Brood frames (good for feeding weak or young hives whilst they build up).
Bee Build Protein Sausage has the same protein & the 10 essential Amino Acids (same formula as Bee Build Powder with Pollen, mixed with a very heavy sugar syrup). We recommend that you only use patties if SHB is under control. If not – use Bee Build powder dry.
Protein Sausages come in packs of:
- 1kg – $23.00*
- 3kg – $60.00*
(Discounts apply to bulk orders) Also available from good Beekeeping suppliers.
*Please note: postage/freight additional. GST included.
3. Bee Boost
Bee Boost is a Probiotic. We use it by mixing in with sugar & water. It is then fed to our Queen Cell rearers. It helps control Nosema by feeding the good bacteria in the gut of the Bee.
Feed in either sugar water mix (50-50) or dry – one teaspoon sprinkled on brood top bar. Good time to feed is late winter or early spring.
Bee Boost comes in pack of:
- 500gm – $44.00*
1-2 teaspoons per hive, depending on hive strength.
*Please note: postage/freight additional. GST included.
As of 1 July 2015, 10% of all sales will go to honey bee health research.
