Research abstract
At certain times of the year when natural pollen is not available, beekeepers need a simple and effective suppliment to feed their colonies to prepare them for pollination services or honey production. The purpose of this project is to advance honey bee nutrition and provide beekeepers a tool to improve honey bee vigor.
