Product Review: Bee Pro Pollen Substitute – Feeding – #Beekeeping Basics – The Norfolk Honey Co.

In the previous video I showed how I mix up my pollen substitute and in this video I am showing you how I feed it to the bees. I picked a sunny day and the bees were very active!

I have used a few different types of Pollen Substitute but never Bee Pro from Mann Lake which is stocked in the UK by Bee -Equipment.co.uk
This video is not sponsored and the product has not been supplied free of charge. I purchased it from their website paying the full amount including postage.
In this video you will hear my honest thoughts of this product in terms of the purchase, delivery and mixing of the product. I will follow this video with another showing how I use it on my colonies and how the bees react to it.

Here is the description from the Mann Lake product page:
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Different protein sources contain different amino acid levels; it’s for this reason that a mixture of protein sources should be included in a pollen substitute. A correct amino acid balance is the key to efficient utilization of protein.

Protein quality is determined by its level of essential amino acids. A shortage of any one essential amino acid makes overall protein utilization by the bee less efficient. For example, the bees require 4% Iso-leucine. If the current feed you are using only has 3% Iso-leucine, your bees can only utilize 75% of the available protein.

Can be fed in dry form in a feeder box placed in the yard or made into patties by mixing with high fructose corn syrup or sugar syrup and placed in the hive.
Free of all contaminants. Natural pollens may contain pesticide residue and disease carrying bacteria (foulbrood).
Can be used for building colonies in late winter or early spring, to prepare for pollination and to maintain or increase brood production prior to and after honey flow.
Gives your bees the best nutrients available for the production of larval food.
High protein pollen substitute which supplies the lipids, minerals, and B-complex vitamins honey bees need to produce larval food.
Specially formulated for the commercial beekeeper who is feeding syrup as the source of carbohydrates in the bee’s diet.

Here is a simple how to guide to building a shot plot in the woods for hunting.

I used 4 different kinds of clover
1 lb medium red clover
.5 lb white dutch clover
.5 lb ladino clover
.5 lb alsike clover
This was enough seed to cover 1/4 acre. I applied the seed at about double the rate to ensure good coverage. Clover is the only seed that will grow in shade and come back every year.

Tools used
Leaf rake
Hand broadcast spreader
Ontario Knife Company Machette
The whole process took about 2 hours and the size is 10 yards by 10 yards
More food plot videos to come with trail camera action
