Lemongrass & Spearmint Oil Feeding Concentrate
Honey-B-Healthy® combines lemongrass and spearmint oils in a concentrated formulation developed for use in honey bee feeding programs.
These aromatic ingredients are used to make supplemental feed more attractive to honey bees and encourage feeding activity.
The manufacturer promotes Honey-B-Healthy® with the phrase “Helps Promote Healthy Vigorous Hives®” when used as a feeding stimulant.
Honey-B-Healthy® is a feeding additive, not a substitute for proper colony nutrition, effective hive management, or approved treatments for honey bee diseases and pests.
Ideal for Seasonal Honey Bee Feeding
Late Winter & Early Spring
As colonies transition toward spring, beekeepers may provide supplemental feed when appropriate for weather conditions, available food stores, and colony development.
Honey-B-Healthy® can be added to suitable feeding mixtures to encourage feed consumption during this important period.
Nectar Dearths
When natural nectar sources become limited, supplemental feeding may be necessary to help colonies maintain adequate food reserves.
Honey-B-Healthy® can be incorporated into a feeding program during periods of nectar scarcity.
Packages, Nucs & Swarms
Newly established honey bee colonies may benefit from supplemental feeding while they build comb, establish brood nests, and develop their populations.
Honey-B-Healthy® is suitable for inclusion in feeding mixtures used when establishing:
-
Honey bee packages.
-
Nucleus colonies (nucs).
-
Newly collected swarms.
-
Other colonies requiring supplemental feed.
How to Use Honey-B-Healthy®
Honey-B-Healthy® is a concentrated feeding stimulant intended to be diluted before use.
-
Prepare an appropriate supplemental feeding mixture for your honey bees.
-
Measure Honey-B-Healthy® according to the manufacturer's current directions.
-
Mix thoroughly to distribute the concentrate.
-
Provide the prepared feed using a suitable honey bee feeder.
-
Monitor colony feeding activity and food stores.
Important: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for dilution rates, mixing, storage, and application. Do not use the concentrate undiluted unless specifically directed by the manufacturer.
Avoid feeding supplemental sugar syrup while honey supers intended for harvest are installed, as syrup may be stored in comb and affect the purity of harvested honey.
