Spring feeding with pollen substitutes has proven effective in boosting performance of honeybee colonies. Pollen substitutes are often used to enhance production of package bees, queens, and number of foraging bees. Honeybee colonies treated with IIC products have been shown to produce more drawn comb, more brood, and more honey. The use of IIC bee products & ingredients is recommended in the spring for packages, nucleus colonies and splits for increased production of bees and honey.
