Pollen Patties for Honey Bees - 2lb (2x1lb) Bee Food with 15% Real USA Pollen, Full Dose of Hive Alive Concentrate, Seaweed Micronutrients, and Amino Acids to Improve Colony Health, Brood

My bees love these pollen patties! I keep them in the fridge to keep out insects. They warm up quickly after taking them out. I remove the paper and lay them directly on the frames. The 15% patties are devoured in a week.

These worked perfectly for my first hive. Plenty to last the spring and fall for multiple hives. I only have one hive and used a total of 2 full patties for the whole of spring. Make sure to store them in an airtight container or wrapped in cellophane!

I got these pollen patties, hoping to give my little human son a taste of what real, unadulterated nature offers. After all, they're packed with real USA pollen, essential amino acids, and even seaweed extracts – basically a superfood smoothie for bees, right? I figured if it's good enough to boost colony health, strength, and honey production, it must be pretty potent for a growing boy.Well, my son, ever the discerning critic, took one bite. His eyes widened, and he immediately declared, DAD!, this is VERY sweet and gross! Then, with a look of profound disappointment (or perhaps, profound relief that he wasn't a bee), he promptly attempted to return the patty to our local buzzing workforce. "Here you go, bees," he mumbled, "I think these are more your speed."While it turns out my son's palate isn't quite aligned with the discerning tastes of a honeybee colony, I can confirm these patties are, indeed, incredibly sweet. And if the bees' frantic joy at getting their 'snack' back is any indication, they absolutely adore them! So, if you're a beekeeper looking to give your colony a gourmet treat that's scientifically proven to boost their well-being, these are a buzzing success. If you're a parent hoping to sneak some unique nutrients into your child's diet... maybe stick to the fruit snacks. Unless your kid is a bee, in which case, five stars!

It’s a good product for the beginning of the season if they don’t eat it all then it’s not a good idea to have it in the fall.

Expensive but got to have them

My bees love them. Just started beekeeping and these are helping my hive grow. Worth it to help get a strong hive going.
