APIVITAL® PASTE – Sugar feed for safe development of bee colonies

Are you looking for an effective and safe way to stimulate bee colonies in early spring or ensure nutrition for new splits? APIVITAL® paste represents a professional solution that fully replaces homemade honey-sugar pastes. This saves your time and eliminates the risk of introducing diseases into the hive, which threatens when using foreign honey. It is an ideal choice for periods when liquid solution feeding is not possible (e.g., due to low temperatures or risk of robbing).

Unique composition for easy consumption

The main advantage of this paste is its physical structure. It consists of supersaturated sugar mass made from very fine sucrose microcrystals (size approx. 1/100 mm). These crystals are embedded in glucose-fructose syrup, which prevents their coalescence. The result is a mass that does not dry out in the hive, does not flow, and bees can utilize it completely. Your bees thus receive immediate energy supply without unnecessary effort to dissolve coarse crystals.

When and how to best use the paste?

APIVITAL® paste is a universal helper throughout almost the entire beekeeping year. Its consistency allows easy dosing and use in feeding devices. Customers most appreciate its benefits in these situations:

1. Spring stimulation: Starts queen laying in early spring.
2. Making splits: Ensures steady food supply for new colonies without triggering robbing.
3. Dearth periods: Bridges gaps in nature and keeps colonies in condition.
4. Winter feeding: Suitable for early store supplementation (e.g., single visit method).

Simple usage instructions

Working with vacuum-packed trays (e.g., 2.5 kg) is very convenient and clean. Proceed as follows:

1. Cut a hole about 8 cm in size on one side of the package.
2. Place a frame 2.5 to 3 cm high on the top super of the hive (creating manipulation space).
3. Turn the paste patty hole-side down and place it directly on the top bars of the frames.
4. Cover the hive with foil, insulation, and roof as you are accustomed.

Bees will gradually take the paste through the hole. Thanks to this system, the feed does not dry out and you are assured it reaches the bees directly.
