MegaBee 5lb Bag

MegaBee is a highly-balanced protein supplement, scientifically designed to improve honey bee health. Made from 100% finely ground plant material, MegaBee is packed with essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that can be fed as a patty or mixed directly into your 2:1 sugar syrup.

MegaBee offers everyone from backyard to commercial beekeepers powerful brood-building results through its ability to stimulate the hypophrangeal gland the bee’s royal jelly producer, often regarded as the “honey bee fountain of youth.” These increases in protein levels give beekeepers an effective tool to boost colony strength, population, and brood production.

Mixing directions:

To make patties: Mix equal proportions of MegaBee and heavy syrup ( together (1 lb MegaBee to 1 lb Heavy Syrup) until it resembles cookie dough, ensuring all clumps have been broken up. For improved results, add 4% oil to the batch. If the MegaBee appears runny, allow the mixture to sit overnight as the powder will continue to absorb moisture. If the MegaBee appears thick, simply add heavy syrup until desirable.

To make liquid: Mix 1 lb of MegaBee into 2 gallons of heavy syrup. Ensure that all clumps have been broken up. Once mixed well, MegaBee will stay in suspension for the duration of its use.

To make candy: Bring 7 lbs of sugar, 1 lb water, and 1.5 lbs heavy syrup to a slow boil while stirring until “Hard Ball” candy consistency is reached, 255 to 265 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the candy off the heat and stir in 2 lbs MegaBee with a whisk. Pour mixture into a mold and allow to cool.
