Field studies with commercial beekeepers show that feeding APIX Pollen in fall builds stronger, healthier colonies that are better prepared to survive the winter and thrive in spring.
Over 900 colonies monitored over 2 years
Comparing APIX Pollen vs. beekeeper best practice
Hundreds of colonies, managed by professional beekeepers in the US, were fed with APIX Pollen or the typical protein supplements these beekeepers used in their fall pre-winter feeding. Colony survival and development was tracked until spring.
OBJECTIVE:
test that APIX Pollen improves overwintering success and early spring colony productivity when compared to traditional protein supplements
NO. OF COLONIES:
Year 1 : 259 colonies, 5 commercially managed apiaries.
Year 2 : 648 colonies, 9 commercially managed apiaries.
INVESTIGATORS:
APIX Biosciences & Washington State University
COLONY MANAGEMENT: Managed by commercial beekeepers according to their best practices.
FIELD DATA:
Data collected by independent extension service teams, often together with the beekeepers’ trained crew – from Fall till Spring.
FEEDING REGIME:
Compare APIX Pollen vs. the protein supplement currently used by the commercial beekeepers.
APIX Pollen effectively halved winter losses compared to colonies that were fed with traditional pollen supplements:
APIX Pollen produced significantly more colonies that met or exceeded the 8-frame grade for almond pollination.
Healthy well-nourished winter bees make strong productive colonies in spring. Colonies followed until March (after almond pollination) showed:
With APIX Pollen, you don’t just keep colonies alive—you set them up to thrive for the entire next season.
The outcome is more rentable hives, stronger colonies for pollination, and a healthier bottom line for your business.
