Protein drives brood rearing, and brood drives colony strength. Our pollen substitutes help commercial beekeepers build up colonies for almond pollination, honey flows, and fall preparation when natural pollen is scarce.
Commercial Pollen Substitutes and Protein Patties
Feed pollen substitutes such as Ultra Bee or Bee-Pro® in patty form inside the hive when it's too cold to fly, or dry in the bee yard when bees are actively foraging. Ready-made patties save time for crews feeding colonies at scale.
Build Colony Populations When It Counts
Feeding protein in early spring and late fall supports brood rearing so colonies reach peak strength when you need them most. Pair pollen substitutes with carbohydrates for a complete feeding program.
