Pollen Patties are available in Regular width patties.
All Global Patties contain scientifically formulated vitamins, minerals and fats specifically selected, balanced and tested for optimal bee nutrition.
The amount of pollen in Global pollen patties does not determine the nutritional or protein value, but in fact, the consumption rate. Depending on how strong your hives are and how fast you want the hive brood to build up, will determine what percentage you should be feeding. At 4% you will have a slower consumption rate, and a steady-build up. At 15% you have a much faster build-up but much faster consumption rate as well, meaning you will have to feed more often.
In the Spring, we recommend 15% for a faster build-up so that the hive is strong and ready for the honey flow. However, if you start feeding early then 4% would be sufficient for a steady-build up until natural pollen is available.
In the Fall, 4% patties is a sufficient amount of pollen to have a steady consumption rate to build up strong winter bees.

Global Customer Testimonials:
“Your Patties are 12 on a scale of 1-10. Bees love them and are very easy to handle.”
“Thank you for the great service and communication! Your 15% patties are the best. The bees not only consume them fast but also brood very well. We have been feeding your patties to over six thousand colonies, for three years, so we should know what we are talking about. The bees will even consume the patties when we feed in freezing temperatures. The last semi-load of patties won't last long. Thanks again.”
“I just wanted to share with you the impact your patties had on our operation the last two years. These springs were very wet and cool and zero pollen had come in by mid-February and did not start until very late. Our hives had no pollen in them in mid-February and almost no brood. We put patties on and immediately brood production took off. We have fed several pounds per hive each spring since you have started and find your product to be very cost effective. It is reasonably priced, easy to use, delivered on time and it works!”
