The patties are placed inside the hive, where bees can consume them directly. Adding protein to the colony encourages brood rearing by stimulating the queen to lay more eggs, which can help increase colony population, particularly during early spring buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1633\" data-start=\"1315\"\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, Bee-Pro® patties include Pro-Health, a digestive health aide formulated to promote increased consumption of patties and medicated feeds. Manufacturer testing reports overall brood production increased by approximately 1½ to 3 frames compared to control hives when using Bee-Pro® patties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1977\" data-start=\"1635\"\u003eProtein patties should be used thoughtfully. Rapid population growth can contribute to early swarming if colonies expand too quickly.

A common best practice is to divide patties into smaller 1–2 inch strips or pieces so bees can consume them more quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2228\" data-start=\"1979\"\u003eEach Bee-Pro® patty weighs approximately 1 pound (454 grams) and contains a minimum of 12% protein. The patties are ready to feed straight from the package and are not weather dependent, making them a convenient option for targeted colony nutrition.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee more of our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foxhoundbeecompany.com\/collections\/feeding-syrup-and-supplements\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSyrup, Protein, and Supplements \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee our entire collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foxhoundbeecompany.com\/collections\/additional-supplies\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBeekeeping Supplies \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxhound Bee Company","offers":[{"title":"2 lb Pack","offer_id":47288964055292,"sku":"BeePro+2","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 lb Box","offer_id":47288964088060,"sku":"BeePro+10","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/1648\/7234\/files\/Bee-Pro-Protein-Patties-Foxhound-Bee-Company.png?v=1751296080","url":"https:\/\/proudlibertarian.com\/products\/bee-pro-protein-patties","provider":"Proud Libertarian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
