Description
Ferro-Bee® is a tool for the beekeeper. Ferro-Bee® is dissolved in sugar syrup and administered to the bees in the period between the honey collection and winter feeding. Ferro-Bee® can also be added to the winter feed. Supplementing the bees’ diet in this way with iron helps prevent winter mortality and encourages bees to be more active. Ferro-Bee® makes treatments against Varroa unnecessary.
Ferro-Bee® is supplied in a sachet and is sufficient to treat at least 20 bee colonies for two years.

Rick –
I have been using the Ferro-Bee powder for almost 2 years now. I believe it has made a great improvement in growth and mortality rate of my hives. I no longer treat my hives for mites or for hive beetles. I have notices a drastic decline in both since using the Ferro-Bee. I also use the HoneyBee healthy and the 20 amino acids solution along with a teaspoon of salt and a dissolved capsule of acidopholis per gallon of sugar water. this seems to not only give them energy but also keeps their digestive tract healthy. Here in the North west Florida area they are also talking about adding some vitamin C to the solution to keep bees healthier. Just wanted to give you an answer to your questions about how they are doing with the Ferro-Bee. I have also recommended it to several bee keeper friends and they are using it too, and have noticed a difference.
