Revolutionizing honey bee nutrition

APIX Biosciences produces the highest-quality animal feed products specifically designed for honeybees. Our specialized Pollen Replacing Feed supports honeybee colonies when their environment does not provide adequate nutrition or when they are stressed.

Introducing APIX pollen: the pollen replacing feed

The culmination of decades of research is APIX Pollen, the first nutritionally complete pollen-replacing feed. It is scientifically formulated to provide everything a colony needs to thrive, even in the complete absence of natural pollen. 

APIX Pollen supports beekeepers when it matters

Pollen dearth

Bridge nutritional gaps during drought, monoculture forage, or seasonal breaks.

Overwintering prep

Build strong, healthy "winter bees" for higher survival rates.

Queen rearing

Ensure well-fed nurse bees to raise high-quality, productive queens.

Stressful pollination

Support colonies pollinating crops with low-quality or no pollen.

Why honey bee health is critical to our food supply

Honeybees play a critical role in pollinating crops and sustaining ecosystems worldwide. Healthy natural food sources for bees are declining, largely driven by habitat loss, unpredictable weather patterns, mono-culture agriculture, and pesticide exposure. With 75% of our food crops depending on pollination by bees, the apiculture industry and our food supply is at risk.

Solutions for a more resilient apiculture industry

Our honey bee nutrition research is the foundation for practical tools that solve the most pressing challenges facing beekeepers and growers: solutions that enhance colony health, secure pollination, and create sustainable value from the hive to the harvest.

For beekeepers: healthier, more productive colonies

We develop the nutritional tools to build stronger, more productive colonies that can withstand environmental stress:

  • Increase overwintering survival: Prepare colonies for winter with the nutrition they need to build a robust “winter bee” population, ensuring higher survival rates and stronger spring colonies.
  • Bridge nutritional gaps: Mitigate the effects of pollen dearth caused by drought, monoculture, or poor weather, preventing brood loss and colony decline.
  • Increase productivity: fuel your colonies during critical periods like queen rearing, spring build-up, and pollination for more resilient and productive bees

For growers: securing sustainable pollination

The health of the hives you rent directly impacts your yield. Our solutions ensure you get a reliable, effective pollination force.

  • Ensure stronger colonies for pollination: well-nourished colonies are stronger, more active, and navigate better – essential for effectively pollinating crops.
  • Improve crop yield and quality: Effective pollination by healthy, active bees leads to better fruit set, higher yields, and improved crop quality.
  • Secure a reliable pollination force: Reduce the risk of pollination deficits caused by weak or shrinking colonies that cannot perform in challenging conditions.
Our expertise is our strength

Backed by decades of dedicated research

With over 20 years of research, our team of dedicated scientists, beekeepers, and formulation specialists discovers & tests nutrients to improve colony health & activity.

  • Independently validated we collaborate with leading researchers and extension services to trial our products in commercial beekeeping environments.
  • Developed at scale – We maintain over 1000 colonies in R&D programs with beekeepers, growers & seed production companies in the US and Europe.
