Description

Apipasta provides essential proteins and amino acids:

While regular fondants are limited to providing carbohydrates for energy, Apipasta Plus contains essential proteins and amino acids that mimic the nutritional profile of natural pollen.

Feed in late winter, early spring or when colonies need a boost:

This makes it ideal for periods of low pollen availability—especially in late winter or early spring—when colonies need both energy and protein to support brood production and maintain colony strength.

Ready to use, 1kg packets:

Apipasta Plus retains the soft texture and easy-to-use design of Apipasta, meaning it’s immediately consumable with no preparation or risk of fermentation. The bees consume it directly, ensuring they benefit from every nutrient in the formula.

Instructions: Place the desired amount of Apipasta Plus directly over the brood frames or on a crown board. Bees will begin consuming the paste immediately without the need for any additional handling or preparation.
