Official Candipolline Gold Distributor

Excellent Autumn, Winter and Spring Feed

 

We leave a packet on the crown board over winter - most of our hives came through the winter last year and it keeps the colony in the middle of the hive - where survival rates are much higher.

 

GIVE YOUR BEES THE VERY BEST HEAD START

The concept of Candipolline Gold is based on a consistent number of scientific publications that show the importance of feeding bees with sugar candy added with a protein supplement. Pollen itself is the most complete source of proteins and micro elements and it's considered the "Gold standard" for bees nutrition.

 

The nutrition of bees with a protein rich candy sugar results in more spring productivity, increase in population growth of the colony and a consistent decrease of sensibility towards pathogens like nosema, malphingamoeba mellificae etc. Overall the mortality of colonies is decreased consistently. A two year long study has shown that bees fed with Candipolline Gold have overwintered much more successfully, have built up well fed healthy Spring brood and have shown greater health and vitality throughout the whole season.

 

The use of pollen in bees nutrition is complicated by the fact that it has to be sterile for bees safety and it has to be mixed to a cold sugar candy in order to avoid the loss of vitamins and protein denaturation.

 

Candipolline Gold (Enolapi, Italy) have achieved a complete and safe sterilization of the pollen by gamma radiation and have adapted the production procedure to solve these problems. Candipolline Gold is a "complete food" since the most important elements in bees nurition are sugar (nectar) and proteins (pollen). Pollen contains essential vitamins, fats and minerals. In order to increase the protein content, Candipolline Gold has added egg and milk proteins and also has specific vitamins that help with essential brood growth.

 

Important beekeeping organizations such as UNAPI are very enthusiastic about Candipolline Gold and have stated the importance of it towards being very effective for winter feeding, Spring development and general honey bee health and vitality throughout the beekeeping season.
