SCIENCE
Why to feed…protein?
Bees are complex beings and, like humans, to
ensure their survival, they need:
Energy Protein
(Amino-acids, minerals,
(carbohydrates) Vitamins)
Essential for foraging Growth of brood amount

Sustains and developing bee family
High immunity = free of disease
Increase of the quality of genetic material
Liebig’s Law of Minimum
Nutritional Major Problems

demands
• Lack of pollen
• Poor quality of pollen(monoculture

crops)
• Toxicity of pollen (acid rains, toxic

plants,
substances used in modern agriculture)
• Climate changes
To balance the essential amino acids we used 2 benchmarks

that confirm each other: the rules calculated by DeGroot and the
natural pattern given by the structure of royal jelly. At this time we have
44% of essential amino acids well balanced in the structure of the protein.
In actual times the demand Nature’s supply coincides only In summer and autumn period,
is not just bee colonies sometimes with nutritional Plant tendency is to produce
Pollen with less CP
survival but the maximum, requirements of bees` (13-18%CP)
production capacity and =
constant harvesting Malnutrition,
Nutritional requirements decreasing body protein reserve

Dulcofruct suggestions:

CANDY ENERGETIC
AND SYRUPS
specially
designed for bees
Apinectar Candy Energetic

Contains:
- Glucose,
- Fructose
- Organic acids
- Minerals
(do not contain toxic
carbohydrates or other
toxic substances)
We recommend for wintering Apinectar and if there is a

shortage of fodder below, we recommend Candy Board

Quality products equivalent to the ideal honey, but without any toxic risk.
Contains:
- Glucose
- Fructose
- Sucrose- only in Apinectar Plus
- Organic acids
- Minerals
- Beneficial plant extracts (with polyphenols, resins, essential oils)
(do not contain toxic carbohydrates or other toxic substances)
Dulcofruct proposals for increasing longevity,
development of biological material and for convalescence in
very weakened colonies
Apitotal Candy With Vitamins
They ensure extra longevity and increase

the amount of increased brood.
They exceed the qualities of any natural
Honey by he presence of vitamins,
while honey
does not contain vitamins.
Contains: We recommend their use for the growth of

biological material, the restoration of
- Glucose weakened colonies, the preparation of the
- Fructose fat body for winter after the last extraction
of honey.
- Sucrose - only Apitotal syrup
- Organic acids
- Minerals
- Beneficial plant extracts (bring polyphenols, resins, essential oils)
- Vitamin complex
Digestive tract health
Beevirol
- spray on bees.
- protects and relieves the symptoms of viruses,
digestive infections.
Candy Forte
- Contains Timol, which is
intestinal
antiseptic,antifungal ,
reduces the number of
Nosema spores in the
intestine by 30-60%.
ANTIVARNOSEM / APIPLANT
It is an alcoholic extract
of active substances from
beneficial plants intended
for the reintegration into the
metabolism of bees of these
substances that polyfloral honey
usually contains (more or less depending
on the origin), and industrial
carbohydrates do not contain them.
Digestive tract health
The active substances and volatile oils

in plants give the gut protection
against aggressive pathogens and
increase the resistance of tissues,
acting on membranes and cellular
structures.
The world premiere of:
"Exclusive Feeding Experiment by
Dulcofruct„
15.04 – 15.06.2019
• The "Exclusive Feeding Experiment by Dulcofruct" proves that:

- bees develop extremely well even in the absence of nectar and pollen
from nature,
- by being fed exclusively with Dulcofruct Super Protein Pattie, Super
Protein Candy Board and Apitotal, bees develop faster, better and
stronger
Experiment Location:
Semi-arid area without
source of water, pollen or nectar
*Pictures from location

The experiment was conducted to support
beekeepers on the sustainability of the most
important declared being on world:

Another significant sign of the quality of “Dulcofruct” products in the

“Exclusive Feeding Experiment” is the swarm instinct.
Dulcofruct Bee Nutrition Science team continuously improves

(upgrades) the quality of products on a scientific basis, taking
care that the price-quality ratio remains the best. If you are referring
to a product from the previous year, you may have surprises and this year
you will discover a better product than you knew under the same label.
The best recognition of the benefits and quality can be made by bees.
Ask for the opinion of your bees, experimenting the products on a
number of families and follow the results!
