No matter the source of foraging in your colony is limited or compromised, this scientifically designed dry feed can help your bees boost brood production. Furthermore, winter months when natural foraging is limited can make winter feeding essential.
Recent trials showed colonies fed Ultra Bee patties exhibited less strength loss compared with Negative Controls at this stage (see Fig 21). This wasn’t too surprising given that all three groups fed Ultra Bee patties tied for first place at that point in time.

High Protein
This scientifically formulated feed provides 58% protein, providing optimal nutrition to boost brood production while creating healthier bees. Plus it includes essential vitamins, minerals and lipids bees need for their success!
No matter its use – be it as a pollen replacement in weak colonies, or supplementing natural forage when conditions prevent bees from leaving their hives – this product will enhance colony health and performance. You can either feed it directly inside the hive via patties, or as an external feeder outside.
Use a box or shallow super with a bottom, and place the feeder patty a short distance from the entrance so foraging bees can easily find it. Protect it from wind and rain to ensure the patty remains dry to avoid becoming a robbing site; add this supplement in winter and spring when pollen sources may be limited; you could also add this dry bee food after harvest as an effective means of increasing winter brood count in preparation for next year.
No Animal By-Products
Ultra bee dry feed contains no animal by-products, helping maintain a healthier hive environment and decreasing parasite risks, while simultaneously enabling bees to extract maximum protein value from this pollen alternative.
Most regions rarely need to feed a colony; however, newly introduced packages or swarms often arrive without resources and require immediate replenishment; at these times feeding may be justified.
This high protein pollen substitute can be fed either dry or as patties in patties directly in the hive or via feeder, protecting it from wind and rain so foragers can access their food source. Scientifically formulated with an amino acid profile and essential vitamins, lipids & minerals for healthy, stronger bees! Available in 1 and 10 pound canisters.
A Complete Amino Acid Profile
This scientifically formulated bee feed includes all the essential amino acids required for honey bees to thrive, increasing brood production while making healthier, stronger bees! With 58% protein content made without animal by-products and featuring an optimal amino acid profile as well as beneficial vitamins & lipids. This feed has proven its success through numerous studies!
Feed it directly to your colonies either in dry form, or as pollen substitute patties for instant use when pollen is unavailable in their foraging radius. Simply place some on top of the hive or at its entrance if weather is too cold to permit foraging.
Your bees will find and transport the dry powder back into their hives just like natural pollen would, making this an effective pollen replacement during times when pollination or building colonies is planned or underway.
Beneficial Vitamins & Lipids
Scientifically designed to ensure proper nutrition, increase brood production and prolong bee longevity, this high protein pollen substitute contains no actual pollen but provides essential vitamins, lipids and minerals needed for bee survival.
Use as a supplement when natural pollen sources are scarce in your bees’ foraging area; also excellent as an aid before an anticipated honey flow!
58% Crude Protein
This dry feed, boasting 58% crude protein content, can be mixed into patties using various recipes or used ‘as is’ in bulk pollen feeders and hanging pollen feeders. Ideal for winter colony building and healthy brood production. Available in 1 pound canisters or 10 lb pails and perfect as an alternative to Mann Lake Feedbee/Bee-Pro products, it features no animal by-products while offering essential amino acid profiles alongside vitamins, lipids and minerals all for healthy brood production! Available as 1 pound canisters/pails/35
