Dry feeder Kubik

Our Dry Pollen Feeder is a game-changer in bee nutrition, designed to effortlessly distribute pollen supplements to your bee colonies. This innovative feeder safeguards the feed quality from external elements, ensuring your bees receive the best nutrition possible.

Key Features:

· Capacity: Holds approximately 30 liters (22 kg), roughly equivalent to a bag of Apipollen, Megabee, or Ultra Bee Dry Substitute feed.
· Accessibility: Allows multiple bees to feed simultaneously, promoting efficient and effective feeding.
· Convenience: Easily disassembles for cleaning and storage, featuring a twist-lock lid for easy filling and a removable bottom plate for maintenance.
· Durable Design: Crafted for longevity and ease of use in various beekeeping environments.
· Ease of Use: Simply open a bag of protein feed and pour it into the feeder placed in the apiary.

Advantages of Dry Pollen Feeding:

Our Dry Pollen Feeder is particularly advantageous under certain conditions. It's ideal during periods of pollen scarcity, providing a necessary supplement when natural sources are insufficient. In urban or agricultural areas, where natural forage is often limited, this feeder offers a critical nutritional boost. It's also highly effective in mitigating robbing behavior and aggressive foraging, as it keeps bees occupied and less inclined towards conflict. Additionally, in environments experiencing hot and dry conditions, where natural forage becomes scarce, our Dry Pollen Feeder ensures your bees have consistent access to the nutrients they need.

Time-Efficient: Significantly reduces the time and labor compared to making patties with syrup.
Distraction for Foragers: Keeps aggressive foragers occupied, reducing hive entrance conflicts.
Storage for Later Use: Unlike protein patties, dry pollen substitute is stored within the hive for future consumption
Less Attractive to Pests: Dry feed in our feeder is generally ignored by pests like small hive beetles.
Effortless Operation: Ideal for beekeepers with time constraints, requiring minimal hive disturbance.

Considerations:

Variable Collection Rates: Not all colonies may collect dry pollen at the same rate.
Disease Transmission Risk: Similar to barrel feeding of sugar syrup, there's a potential risk of disease spread where bees from different colonies mingle.
Supplementary, Not Substitute: While highly beneficial, dry pollen feeding is an addition to, not a substitute for, protein patties, especially during times of pollen scarcity.

Usage Note: Remove honey supers intended for human consumption before feeding.

Conclusion:

Our Dry Pollen Feeder represents an innovative step in bee nutrition, providing a practical and efficient way to supplement your bees’ diet. While it's not a complete replacement for traditional feeding methods, it's an invaluable tool in the beekeeper's arsenal, particularly during challenging seasons or in areas with limited natural forage.
