Candipolline Platinum 7% High Protein Bee Feed – 500g

High-protein supplementary bee feed with 7% protein, formulated to provide additional nutritional support when natural pollen availability is limited. Particularly suited to autumn and pre-winter feeding, as well as spring build-up and colonies experiencing nutritional stress.

Candipolline Platinum is Enolapi's higher-protein formulation, combining carbohydrates with sterilised pollen and selected, highly digestible proteins. It has been developed for periods when colonies may benefit from a greater level of protein supplementation than provided by standard carbohydrate feeds.

Ideal for Autumn & Pre-Winter Nutrition

Autumn feeding is often focused on ensuring colonies have sufficient carbohydrate stores for winter, but protein nutrition is also important during the development of the bees that will form the winter population.

Pollen is the honeybee colony's natural source of protein. Where the quantity or diversity of pollen being brought into the hive is limited, supplementary protein feeding can provide additional nutritional support.

With its 7% protein content, Candipolline Platinum is specifically recommended by Enolapi for pre-winter feeding and supporting the development of the fat body of winter bees. It can also be used for colonies experiencing nutritional stress or weakness.

Why Choose Candipolline Platinum?

Platinum is the higher-protein option within the Candipolline range.

It builds on the Candipolline Gold formulation with additional selected proteins, creating a feed designed for periods when colonies require greater protein supplementation.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Autumn and pre-winter feeding
• Periods when natural pollen intake is limited
• Supporting colonies during the development of their winter population
• Spring build-up and periods of brood rearing
• Colonies experiencing nutritional stress or weakness

Gold or Platinum – What's the Difference?

Candipolline Gold provides carbohydrates together with supplementary protein and sterilised pollen. It is a useful general-purpose feed when natural pollen intake is poor.

Candipolline Platinum is the higher-protein formulation, containing 7% protein, with additional selected, highly digestible proteins. Enolapi particularly recommends Platinum for pre-winter feeding and colonies requiring additional nutritional support.

If you're specifically looking for a higher-protein supplementary feed during autumn preparation, Platinum is the more concentrated option within the range.

How to Feed

Candipolline Platinum is ready to use with no mixing or preparation required.

Make an opening in the pouch and position the feed above the bees, allowing them access to it. The convenient 500g pouch is particularly suitable for hobby beekeepers or for feeding individual colonies as required.

Supplementary protein feeding should complement natural forage rather than replace it. Colonies bringing in plentiful, varied pollen may not require additional protein supplementation.
