Application in beekeeping
“Aquakorm” is used when there is a high need to increase the strength of the bee colony. Most often it is used in spring or autumn – in preparation for wintering. With a lack of vitamins and minerals, working individuals become lethargic and less efficient. The work of the queen bee is deteriorating. All this together affects the quantity and quality of the crop.
As a result of the use of Aquakorm, the immune system of the family is strengthened. Reduces the risk of contracting a tick-borne infection. The resistance of the bee organism to the fungus and pathogenic bacteria increases. In addition, the work of the digestive organs is normalized, due to which the process of absorption of nutrients is accelerated. Young individuals develop faster than usual.
