A number of feeding methods were compared in order to find out which had the greatest effect on Nosema spore levels.
Feeding HiveAlive overwinter resulted in a 92% decrease in the number of spores compared to control.
Results also suggest that adding HiveAlive to syrup is the most effective.
I am having great results with HiveAlive last winter and now this Spring. The results are dramatic, as my hives are growing like never before. Read more...
I used 5ml of HiveAlive per 500 ml of syrup, and then repeated for 7 days, I saw real progress so now I use HiveAlive when I suspect symptoms of a weak hive. My colonies are more productive, better nourished and stronger! Read more...
The bees that were previously aggressive calmed down and became a pleasure to work with. The colonies were strong in the spring and for the first time in my seven years of beekeeping we have a wonderful honey crop. Read more...
It is widely used by commercial operators in NZ including two of NZ’s largest beekeeping operations - draw your own conclusions. Also of note is that HiveAlive has been developed specifically for honey bees. Read more...
I just started using HiveAlive this summer for my hives that have been hit hard by varroa and deformed wing virus. They had chalkbrood and the brood pattern was not as consistent as it had been. I noticed after two weeks of HiveAlive that the brood is more consistent and the bees seem to be building up better. Read more...
Every one of my 300 hives survived the winter. I am extremely impressed with HiveAlive and will continue to use it for all my hives. Read more...
I used HiveAlive in October and February and I must say that there has been a dramatic improvement in population abundance, behaviour (very little hives have swarmed!) and spring yields. So far the outcome after using HiveAlive is positive. Read more...
The population increased rapidly and honey production increased. On average production per hive is approx 25% more and the hives are more consistent in production. Read more...
I am now running 1000 Langstroth hives and 300 five frame Nuc's. I've been using HiveAlive for the last two seasons and I've noticed a huge build up difference in our colonies. Also loving the longevity added to the premixed syrup as it doesn't tend to ferment for ages. Read more...
HiveAlive is largely composed of a unique blend of scientifically selected Irish seaweed extracts called OceaShield which has many beneficial properties. Seaweeds are routinely fed in animal feeds to help reduce the need for antibiotics.
HiveAlive contains thyme which is recognised as a key substance in the fight against Nosema. We have developed a unique emulsification process to ensure it blends easily into sugar syrup and does not cause separation or re-crystallisation.
HiveAlive contains a precise amount of lemongrass in order to increase attractiveness of syrup but does not contain enough to induce unwanted robbing. Lemongrass also has a calming effect on bees.
At Advance Science, we are heavily research focused and strive to provide natural, effective and practical solutions that are cost competitive for the beekeeper. Our research is centred on utilising and validating nature’s best defences followed by expert formulation and blending. We ensure that these processes are sustainable and work in harmony with nature.
