Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and productivity of your bees. Apis Biologix offers innovative solutions to optimize bee health by mimicking the natural balance of nutrients found in floral nectar and pollen. This blog explores two key products: Bio-Metabolic-Fuel and Bio-Activator, and will explain how they can enhance your beekeeping practices.
What Are Bio-Metabolic-Fuel and Bio-Activator?
Apis Biologix provides two advanced nutritional supplements designed to support honeybees during high-stress periods such as nectar dearth periods, shipping, queen rearing, and pollination:
Bio-Metabolic-Fuel (formerly Bio-Control)
- A nutritional additive designed for sugar syrup.
- Contains essential micronutrients in the same ratios as natural nectar.
- Helps bees meet their dietary needs to maintain optimal health when natural nectar is unavailable.
Bio-Activator
- A nutritional supplement designed for pollen patties.
- Enriched with micronutrients to replicate the nutrient profile of natural pollen.
- Complements pollen substitutes to provide bees with essential nutritional building blocks.
Key Benefits of Apis Biologix Products
-
Mimics Nature’s Nutrients – Both products enhance sugar syrup and pollen substitutes by supplying the correct balance of micronutrients, closely resembling natural nectar and pollen.
-
Supports Bee Health – By meeting bees' nutritional needs, these supplements enhance their resilience and overall well-being.
-
Improves Stress Management – Bees facing environmental stress, shipping, pollination demands, or queen rearing challenges benefit significantly from these targeted nutritional inputs.
-
Complements Existing Feeding Practices – While designed to work together for optimal results, Bio-Metabolic-Fuel and Bio-Activator can also be used independently, depending on your feeding strategy.
-
Promotes Disease and Pest Resistance – Though not a treatment for specific diseases or pests, these supplements support bees’ natural defenses by promoting optimal health.
How to Use Bio-Metabolic-Fuel and Bio-Activator
1. Bio-Metabolic-Fuel
- Add to sugar syrup during feeding.
- Ideal during nectar scarcity or when bees require extra energy, such as in early spring or late fall.
- Mix as directed to ensure the correct balance of nutrients.
2. Bio-Activator
- Mix into the pollen patties you make to enhance their nutritional profile.
- Use when natural pollen is scarce or as part of a supplemental feeding strategy.
- Combine with high-quality pollen substitutes for best results.
Why Use Both Products Together?
While Bio-Metabolic-Fuel and Bio-Activator can be used independently, they work best when combined. By addressing both nectar and pollen substitutes, you ensure your bees receive a complete and balanced nutritional profile, resulting in stronger, healthier colonies that can better handle stress and environmental challenges.
