Mann Lake Bee-Pro Patties, Enhanced with Pro Health Digestive Aid, Boosts Brood Production, Protein Pollen Substitute, 10 Lbs

The bees love it and the packaging makes the patties super easy to use and put in your hive

This is a beekeepers' staple for that additional food source for overwintering. Particularly useful as a food supplement when the hive goes through a series of warming and cooling cycles where the bees are particularly active and consuming more energy stores but natural sources aren't yet available.

Have always used these for winter feeding & early spring feeding. Great product, and works!!

Expensive, and kinda thick for placement any other place other than between boxes without queen excluders or inner-boards. I take care of this problem by setting them in the car over the day, and roll them flatter with a rolling pin, or bottle of wine (that is empty already). I'd give this 4 star, 5 if they were flatter/thinner and already in precut 2 pieces per slab instead of having to tear them apart. I also wish they would make the wax paper easier to remove.

These patties are great for boosting brood on hives that have started to struggle and also to get a headstart on the spring build-up.I try to make sure I don't over-offer these because they can attract small hive beetles and ants, if the hive isn't strong. So I cut them to size and make sure to score the paper on both sides with a knife.You also have to seal them in a ziplock or something similar to store them because they can start to mold with moisture from the air.

Easy to use. Just as advertised

These pollen patties are exactly what you'd expect. My bees love them. These were only 2 months old with almost 2 years shelf life. I was quite pleased with how fresh they are.

It does what it supposed to do
