Made with Invert Sugar!
(No High Fructose Corn Syrup!)

Nutritional Benefits of Invert Sugar
BeeBites, a probiotic superfood for honey bees, is made with invert sugar as the carrier for two powerful probiotics, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus licheniformis. Invert sugar is composed of glucose and fructose, which closely mimics the natural sugars found in floral nectar, making it easily digestible for bees and offering a quick, efficient energy source.

By including invert sugar in our probiotic power bar, we prevent crystallization, ensuring a consistent and accessible food supply. Additionally, the stable nature of invert sugar reduces the risk of fermentation and spoilage, preserving their nutritional integrity.

Key Benefits of Bacillus Bacteria
• Digestive Enzymes: Bacillus bacteria produce enzymes such as amylase, which aid in the digestion of sugars and improve overall bee health.​

• Pathogen Inhibition: inhibits molds, fungi, and pathogens, safeguarding the health of your hives.

FAQs

Pre & Probiotic SuperFood For Honey Bees

Benefits of Spirulina & Chlorella 
• Increased Lifespan and Colony Health:
Spirulina is rich in essential amino acids, functional lipids, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are vital for the overall health and development of bees.

• Enhanced Immune Function:  
Spirulina and Chlorella are rich in antioxidants and nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. These compounds have been shown to bolster honey bee immune systems, potentially improving their resistance to diseases and parasites.


• Prebiotic Effects:
Spirulina stimulates the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, Snodgrassella, and Bifidobacterium, which are crucial for bee metabolism, immunity, and overall fitness.

• Fat Body Lipid Content:
Spirulina diets significantly increase fat body lipid content, providing bees with essential fatty acids that are vital for their energy and metabolic functions.

• Improved Nutritional Status:
Feeding bees with spirulina leads to elevated nutritional states, comparable to or exceeding traditional pollen diets in some metrics. This includes increased thorax weight, head protein content, and beneficial gut bacteria abundance.

Important Note: Research is exploring the potential benefits of microalgae for bee health. Preliminary findings suggest a range of positive impacts, and we welcome any feedback from the beekeeping and scientific community to guide our ongoing research efforts. Your insights would be invaluable as we continue to investigate the potential of microalgae as a valuable resource for bee well-being.

Efficacy of a Microalgal Feed Additive

“Spirulina feed significantly improved brood production and thermoregulation prior to almond pollination relative to unfed controls.”... “We conclude that spirulina is a sustainable feed additive with the potential to improve crop pollination efficiency by supporting larger, healthier honey bee colonies.”
