Support Hive Health, Strength and Productivity

AgriSea Bee Nutrition is a liquid seaweed-based supplement designed to support healthy, productive hives year-round. Developed in close collaboration with New Zealand beekeepers, scientists and industry experts, it provides a complete nutritional profile to help bees cope with increasing honey production and crop pollination demands and variable flowering conditions.

Bees require a complex mix of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals to grow, reproduce and function effectively within the hive. AgriSea Bee Nutrition supplies all 10 essential amino acids, along with additional non-essential amino acids, trace elements and minerals that stressed hives can no longer produce efficiently on their own. It contains the right balance of vitamins B and C (B2, B3, B5, B9, B12) which are essential for brood rearing, while naturally chelated nutrients improve bioavailability and uptake in the bee gut. This product also provides carbohydrates which bees require for energy, as well as lipids for hormone development.

Used alongside regular feeding programmes, it will help maintain your hives' strength, support population growth, and improve resilience during seasonal pressure points.
