Mann Lake Bee-Pro Patties, Enhanced with Pro Health Digestive Aid, Boosts Brood Production, Protein Pollen Substitute, 10 Lbs

Q: Picking up NUK this spring (frame swap). Want to close off hive to ensure queen/bees settle in. How many do I need for couple weeks till I open hive?

Be hard to answer not knowing how big your nuc is or where your nuc is going to live-Alaska or Florida. But if 4-5 frame nuc and somewhere in the middle where I am (Virginia) my answer would be one patty would be ample and I hope you are feeding sugar syrup. I have never had a problem getting a queen or bees to "settle in" so I have never "closed off" a hive or nuc for that purpose. They are also going to need plenty of ventilation if you do close up the nuc/hive. My advice would be to just get them to your place (I just clicked on your screen name and see you are in NC). Close them up with ventilation for no more than 24 hrs they will reorient to their new home. Even if you lose a few foragers your queen will replace them in a day or two. Good luck.

Q: Would this be the best thing for feeding bees during the freezing winter months? If so, do I just put a pattie in the bottom of the hive?

apparantly placing the pattie at the bottom of the hive is not good as the bees dont like to leave the upper warm area to feed and the patties draw scavanger bugs from the door way, as well as block air circulation and trap moisture promoting mold. Best way is to get a 2 inch spacer box and put it between lid and box and set pattie direct on top of frames. Quickley! so as not to chill brood. sorry bout the spelling

Q: Do you need to peel off the wrapper, either top or bottom or both?

Don’t peel off the paper. The bees tear off the paper as needed, the paper keeps the patty from drying out, and it also slows down hive beetles from laying eggs in the patty. I use half patty per week on new package hive until they stop taking it. Watch for hive beetle larvae and toss that patty if they started laying in it.

Q: How long can they be kept frozen?

I had some frozen over a year and the bees still devoured them fine

Ready for bee season

Timely delivery for our new bee nuc. Like that each pollen patty is separated. The pollen patties plus sugar water should make for a great start to season

They eat it up in the fall...

Expensive, and kinda thick for placement any other place other than between boxes without queen excluders or inner-boards. I take care of this problem by setting them in the car over the day, and roll them flatter with a rolling pin, or bottle of wine (that is empty already). I'd give this 4 star, 5 if they were flatter/thinner and already in precut 2 pieces per slab instead of having to tear them apart. I also wish they would make the wax paper easier to remove.
