"Aquafeed" is a balanced vitamin complex for bees. It is used to activate oviposition and increase the productivity of working individuals. It is produced in powder form, which must be dissolved in water before use.
Application in beekeeping
"Aquafeed" is used when there is a high need to increase the strength of the bee colony. Most often it is used in spring or autumn - in preparation for wintering. With a lack of vitamins and minerals, working individuals become lethargic and less efficient. The work of the queen bee deteriorates. All this together affects the quantity and quality of the harvest.
As a result of using Aquafeed, the family’s immune system is strengthened. The risk of contracting an infection carried by ticks is reduced. The bee body's resistance to fungus and pathogenic bacteria increases. In addition, the functioning of the digestive organs is normalized, thereby accelerating the absorption of nutrients. Young individuals develop faster than usual.
Composition, release form
Aquakorm is produced in the form of a gray-pink powder. The packaging is a sealed bag with a volume of 20 g.In its finished form, the drug is a liquid for feeding insects. It includes:
- minerals;
- salt;
- vitamins.
Pharmacological properties
"Aquafeed" has a positive effect on the wintering process of bees by increasing their activity. It stimulates the secretion of royal jelly and increases the reproductive abilities of the uterus. The desired effect is achieved by replenishing the supply of vitamins.
Instructions for use
Before use, the powder is diluted with water in a ratio of 20 g of product per 10 liters of water. The resulting solution is used to fill a drinking bowl for bees. It is not recommended to open the packaging long before preparing the food. This will negatively affect the safety of the vitamin supplement.
Dosage, rules of use
The supplement must be given to bees in spring or early autumn. To replenish nutrients for the bee family, one pack of Aquafeed is enough.
Side effects, contraindications, restrictions on use
An abundance of nutrients is just as harmful as a lack of them. Therefore, bees should not be given the drug during periods of increased activity. When used correctly, the vitamin supplement does not cause side effects.
Shelf life and storage conditions
"Aquafeed" should be stored in a dry place out of reach of sunlight. The optimal storage temperature is from 0 to +25°C. If these conditions are met, the drug will be able to retain its properties for 3 years from the date of manufacture.
Conclusion
"Aquafeed" helps maintain the health of the bee family, regardless of external factors. Experienced beekeepers practice feeding with vitamin supplements 1-2 times a year. This allows you to increase the productivity of bees, thereby improving the quality of the harvest.
