Pollen substitutes provide the protein, beneficial vitamins, lipids and minerals bees need to thrive and raise brood when natural pollen is not available in sufficient quantities. Ultra Bee provides the industry’s highest protein content and has a complete amino acid profile, which allows bees to utilize all available protein. Ultra Bee is micronized to the correct particle size for easy consumption by honey bees and is made with only the finest ingredients. 

Independent research done by Randy Oliver of scientificbeekeeping.com and published in the American Bee Journal, August and September 2014, shows that Ultra Bee produced results statistically equal to those of natural pollen! 

HOW TO USE

PATTIES FORM

Ultra Bee Patties allow beekeepers to feed pollen substitutes directly in the hive, which is beneficial for weaker colonies or when colonies are prevented from foraging because of cold, wet weather. In contrast, dry pollen substitutes must be feed outside of the hive. Ultra Bee Patties provide an excellent source of the protein and carbohydrates honey bees need to raise brood.

Place 1-3 patties (no need to remove the paper) on the top bars of the hive. For a two story colony, place the patties on the top bars of the lower box. Do not feed patties when honey supers are present.

WITH A ULTRA-BEE BAG WE CAN PREPARE approximately 200 patties.

FEEDING UB DRY

Strong colonies can be fed dry pollen substitute when the weather is warm enough for bees to fly. Place Ultra Bee in Mann Lake’s Dry Pollen Substitute Feeder (FD-115) or in a box or shallow super with a bottom. Several pieces of wood or other objects should be placed on top of the Ultra Bee to provide a place for bees to groom. Place the box in an open drum or pail tipped on its side to protect Ultra Bee from wind, rain and dew.

Feed approximately 1.5 lb (680 g) per colony when sufficient natural pollen is not available or to keep bees from robbing nearby cattle feed lots.
