Make Your Own Honey Bee Protein Patties

Global Patties Dry Mix makes preparing supplemental honey bee patties straightforward.

Instead of purchasing ready-made patties, you can mix your own feed as needed.

This gives you flexibility when managing multiple colonies and allows you to adjust the consistency of the mixture for easier handling and placement.

The finished mixture should be soft enough to form into patties but firm enough to hold its shape.

Mixing Directions

Use room-temperature or cooler water, approximately 20°C (68°F) or below. DO NOT USE HOT WATER.

1. Prepare Your Mixing Container: Place the desired amount of Global Patties Dry Mix into a clean pail, bucket, or suitable mixing container.

2. Add Water: Pour room-temperature or cooler water over the dry powder.

3. Mix Thoroughly: Slowly mix the ingredients together for several minutes until evenly combined.

4. Check Consistency: The mixture should be soft but firm enough to hold its shape when rolled into a ball.

5. If Too Dry: Add small amounts of water and continue mixing until the desired consistency is reached.

6. If Too Wet: Add additional Global Patties Dry Mix and mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes firmer.

7. Form Patties: Shape the prepared mixture into patties suitable for your hive feeding arrangement.

8. Feed Your Colonies: Place the patties where honey bees can access them, following appropriate colony feeding practices.

Important Mixing Reminder: Never use hot water when preparing Global Patties Dry Mix.

Because the amount of water required may vary depending on mixing conditions and the desired consistency, add water gradually rather than all at once.

Supplemental Nutrition for Honey Bee Colonies

Honey bees naturally collect pollen as an important source of protein and other nutrients.

When natural pollen is scarce, beekeepers may choose to provide a suitable pollen substitute as part of a supplemental feeding program.

Global Patties Dry Mix contains ingredients selected to provide nutritional support when colonies require additional feed.

It may be useful during:

• Early spring colony buildup.

• Periods of limited natural pollen availability.

• Supplemental feeding of developing colonies.

• Seasonal apiary feeding programs.

• Management of colonies requiring additional protein feed.

Beekeeping Tip: Pollen substitutes are intended to supplement colony nutrition. They do not fully replicate every nutritional characteristic of naturally collected pollen.

Ingredients

Global Patties Dry Mix with Apis Biologix contains:

• Soya Flour.

• Sugar.

• Brewer's Yeast.

• Fat-Soluble Vitamin Supplements.

• Water-Soluble Vitamin Supplements.

• Trace Mineral Supplements.

• Plant Oils.

These ingredients are combined to create a dry supplemental honey bee feed that can be mixed with water and formed into patties.

Important Information for Canadian Beekeepers

GLOBAL PATTIES DRY MIX BAGS DISTRIBUTED WITHIN CANADA DO NOT CURRENTLY CONTAIN POLLEN.

Although the product is commonly used to prepare what beekeepers call pollen patties, the Canadian-distributed dry mix is formulated without natural pollen.

It should therefore be described as a honey bee pollen substitute or protein patty dry mix.

Available Package Sizes

The 2 lb bag is convenient for smaller feeding programs, while the 50 lb bag offers a bulk purchasing option for beekeepers preparing larger quantities of patties.
