Very informative and a great alternative to buying the powder from bee supply stores at 10 times the price. I found your video after reading about feeding protein to bees on Randy Oliver's web site. Lots of beekeepers don't feed their bees at all and some feed sugar syrup only. However, protein is extremely important to most life on this planet, including bees. A colony that's unable to bring in sufficient quantities of pollen will undergo stress and the queen will slow down her laying of eggs. So called "natural" beekeepers (bless their hearts!) will argue that real bee pollen is always the best, and they are right. If you have collected pollen from your own hives and it's fresh (can be frozen), then that's always preferable. However, many of us do not own the luxury of a pollen trap, so then a man-made protein such as the one you're showing here will be of great help for the bees. Great video, thank you! And remember guys, well fed bees are happy bees! 😉🌺🐝🐝🐝
Wonderful video, thank you very much for the information. I have a question on how do you introduce this food supplement to the beehive? what is the proper way to feed it to the bees?
That's pretty simple! Interesting little factoid about brewer's yeast that I never knew. I breast-fed both my sons but nobody ever suggested brewer's yeast--which I would have loved, as I love bread of almost every kind. I'm assuming you can use brewer's yeast in bread? I'll have to ask my Mom, she makes bread....anyway, I'll pass on that suggestion, my daughter-in-law might be interested in it. Too bad there's no-one close by that I know that keeps bees, I bet they would like your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I'm pretty sure you can use brewers yeast for bread as well. It really does help a lot with milk supply. It has a pretty bitter taste so I would put it in smoothies. It is very high in B vitamins.
I can't believe how cheap this recipe is. I only have three hives and I think I have made enough for the year. Plus the dog enjoyed licking out the bowl.
One warm sunny day in March I was working in my neighbors garage with the door open. Honeybees were flying in and out like they had a hive in there. I followed the flight path to the top of his broken refrigerator he was using as a storage shelf. There was an open bag of Carboryl insecticide (a.k.a 7 dust) . The bees were carrying poison to the hive. That same careless neighbor was open feeding my bees and his bees corn flour ( beekeeping neighbors). The bees packed the useless corn flour in the comb cells and it molded and his bees died. You really got to watch what bees eat, they dont know best with us modern humans providing so much unnatural pseudo foodstuffs.
These are the ingredients in Global patties that Randy Oliver found to be the most nutritious on the market. Great video and very helpful.
You such an angle, you piece of heaven .. Thanks a lot for this simple straight forward video.. well done and please keep it up 👍
