Patties are traditionally fed in Spring to build up colonies and in Autumn to make sure colonies are strong going into winter but can be fed any time there is a pollen dearth. If you don't use up all your patties in the season you bought them, freezing them will keep them in perfect condition until you need them again.
Why choose the HiveAlive Pollen Patty:
Seaweed nutrients and HiveAlive are incorporated to further boost colony productivity and health.
- HiveAlive pollen patties have a very fast consumption rate, which means they are ideal for use in regions where the small hive beetle is present.
When to feed HiveAlive Pollen Patties: Pollen patties can be fed whenever you want to increase brood, productivity and ensure strong colonies, in particular when there is a shortage of pollen. For optimal results, ensure there is a carbohydrate source when feeding pollen patties such as nectar or sugar syrup (for optimal results, add HiveAlive to sugar syrup).
Method of application: Gently smoke the bees down and place patty directly over frames as close to brood as possible. Ensure side with perforated paper is placed down so that bees have access to patty through the holes underneath. Repeat as needed.
Pollen Patty Reviews
"Your choice of patty is excellent. I like the softer/gooey paper wrapped patties. I fed the pollen patties in 3rds along with winter patties (half patty) on 3 pound packages. I fed the patties along with 1:1 sugar ratio (hive alive in syrup) on top bottle feeders....It really did not matter if the "hole side" of the patty was up or down. The bees ate them, and ate from the sides also. A friend of mine ordered a pallet of them for his hives that were put on blueberries, using half a patty at a time. To make a long story short he and I were happy with them. Our bees look great. The one thing we noticed this year is very little swarming with our hives. He runs 2000 hives to my 200.....On inspections we have not even seen alot of swarm cells."

“Earlier this spring I put Hive Alive pollen patties in several thriving hives and then put a leading competitor patty next to each of them…10 days later, the Hive Alive patties were nearly fully consumed while the other patties were hardly touched…that convinced me! I will always use Hive Alive pollen patties in my hives…nothing but the best for my bees!”

"Tried 2 different protein patties and Hive Alive (pollen patties). Bees only took HA."

"The bees could not wait for me to completely put patty on frames and they were starting to consume so I hope that is a good sign."
