Ready-to-Use Bee Nutrition Patties

Vita Hive Patties provide a convenient pollen supplement in a ready-to-use patty format. Instead of preparing a nutritional supplement from separate ingredients, beekeepers can place the prepared patties in the hive as part of their colony-feeding routine.

Supports Brood Development

The patties are designed to support brood development and brood health by providing supplemental nutritional components when natural forage may not be sufficient.

This can be useful during periods when pollen availability is low or when colonies require additional nutritional support.

Pollen Substitute

Vita Hive Patties contain a pollen substitute, providing an alternative nutritional source when natural pollen is limited.

Supplemental pollen substitutes can be incorporated into colony management during periods of low forage or when additional nutritional support is required.

Contains Vitamins and Minerals

The formulation includes vitamins and minerals alongside the pollen substitute, providing a broader nutritional profile for the colony.

These nutrients are intended to complement the bees' natural food sources rather than replace normal foraging when suitable forage is available.

Made in New Zealand

Vita Hive Patties are made in New Zealand using local and imported ingredients. This provides beekeepers with a commercially prepared nutritional supplement produced specifically for honey bee feeding.

Useful During Low Forage Periods

The patties are intended for use during periods of low natural forage. When colonies have limited access to natural pollen, supplemental nutrition can help provide an additional food source as part of the beekeeper's management plan.

This can be particularly useful during seasonal gaps when natural pollen availability is reduced.

Supports Hive Health and Longevity

The product is designed to support bee health and longevity alongside brood development. Providing appropriate nutrition is an important part of maintaining a productive colony, particularly when environmental conditions affect natural food availability.

Easy to Incorporate Into Hive Management

Because the product is supplied as ready-made patties, it can be incorporated into a feeding routine without the preparation required for loose nutritional supplements.

The patties can be used when colonies require supplemental nutrition or when beekeepers want to stimulate brood production during suitable periods.

Convenient 1 KG Pack

The 1 KG pack provides a practical quantity for beekeepers who want to keep ready-made nutritional patties available for seasonal feeding.

The format is suitable for hobby beekeepers and can also be useful as part of a larger apiary's nutritional management supplies.

Storage

The patties should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always follow the storage instructions and best-before date shown on the product packaging.
