Hive Alive™ is a feed supplement combining natural bio-active ingredients which promote intestinal well-being and improved colony strength. A recent trial performed by the Hellenic Institute of Apiculture, Greece (November 2012 to June 2014) compared 20 colonies with Hive Alive™ activated syrup against 20 colonies fed ordinary sugar syrup. The trial showed that routinely feeding Hive Alive™ to bees nearly doubled (+89%) in colony population in comparison to ordinary sugar syrup when used biannually.
