APIX Biosciences is proud to announce that the foundational research behind our nutritionally complete pollen-replacing feed has been published in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal, Proceedings of the Royal Society B. This publication validates over 25 years of scientific work and marks a pivotal moment for the beekeeping industry.
The paper, titled “A complete pollen-replacing feed for honey bees,” details the long-term experiments conducted at Washington State University and in Belgium. In these studies, colonies in enclosed environments with no access to natural pollen were fed exclusively on our diet. The results were unprecedented: the colonies not only survived but thrived, showing continuous brood production for over five generations.
Our research provides critical new insights into honey bee nutrition, including:
The ability to sustain colonies on a manufactured diet confirms that APIX Pollen is not just a supplement, but a true pollen replacer. This provides beekeepers with a reliable, science-backed tool to manage nutritional gaps and ensure colony health year-round.
We are committed to advancing bee health through rigorous science. For questions about our research or to discuss its implications for your apiary, please reach out.
