Evaluation of FEEDBEE® under Egyptian condition

Abstract EN

Proteins are an important determinant of the growth of many organisms.

Social insect such as honey bees provide protein sources to their individuals and stored them, lake of protein sources is negative reflacting of brood rearing in honey bee colonies, worker’s population and colonies activities.

So, under condition of lack pollen yield or using pollen traps, it necessary to compensation of colonies with pollen substitutes materials, such as FEEDBEE®.

Form evaluation data at spring season under Egyptian condition, powder FEEDBEE® 5gm/L of sugar syrup (1:1), was perfect to provide colonies with pollen substitutes with high significant effects on worker’s population, brood rearing areas, and showed lowest significant effect in stored beebread.
