Landmark studies demonstrate that APIX Pollen enables continuous brood development for a full season, over 120 days, representing five generations without any access to natural pollen.
Published in the Proceedings of the Royal society B – Biological Sciences.
Trials in collaboration with and supervised by Washington State University, Department of Entomology.
Colonies were isolated from any natural pollen sources inside large research tents and provided with either APIX Pollen or a leading commercially available protein supplement, alongside sugar syrup and water. Their development was monitored for an entire season.
OBJECTIVE:
Demonstrate that APIX Pollen sustains brood production when colonies have zero access to pollen.
LOCATION:
Belgium (Year 1), US (Year 2)
NO. OF COLONIES:
5 – 8 per treatment, 3 – 4 per tent
DURATION:
Full season, from May to September
FEEDING REGIME:
APIX Pollen vs. a commercially used protein/pollen supplement
APIX Pollen is a unique tool for nourishing colony strength during nutritional gaps.
It has been widely tested and proven useful in the following cases:
Bridge nutritional gaps during drought, monoculture forage, or seasonal breaks.
Build strong, healthy "winter bees" for higher survival rates.
Ensure well-fed nurse bees to raise high-quality, productive queens.
Support colonies pollinating crops with low-quality or no pollen.
Well-nourished bees create larger, more resilient, and more productive colonies.
