Lately, bee nutrition has been the subject of extensive research due to scientists investigating some surprising new ideas.

Most beekeepers would have observed bees drinking from what we would consider dirty water sources.  However, this may be filling a nutrition gap.

It seems we still have a lot to learn about bee health.  In particular, what foods do bees really need,  as well as what pollen sources actually provide the best nutrition value for a bee.

Lincoln University studies are showing the mineral content of pollen to be the key factor in enhancing and maintaining bee fitness.  See the link to more information https://www.stuff.co.nz/science/118605431/honey-bees-need-better-nutrition-and-nz-scientists-think-they-can-help?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=8

Mineral Bee, developed by Australian beekeeper George Magee, is a healthy supplement for your bees nutrition and health.  It contains the same vital minerals and trace elements as honey and pollen.  This ensures that your bees will develop strongly when added to your normal syrup to boost the hive.  See link https://www.hiveworld.co.nz/product/mineral-bee/
