Early Spring Build-Up

The early spring period is one of the most critical phases in beekeeping. After winter, colonies often have limited strength and reduced pollen stores. This is where WonderBee provides a significant advantage.

Feeding WonderBee patties during early spring helps:

  • Stimulate brood development
  • Support the queen’s laying pattern
  • Strengthen the colony before the nectar flow
  • Improve overall colony energy levels

Many beekeepers report stronger brood frames within the first few weeks of use.

Low Pollen or Low Nectar Flow

There are times in the season when natural forage becomes scarce — drought, cold weeks, rain, or seasonal gaps.
During these periods, bees cannot gather enough natural protein, leading to stress and slow development.

WonderBee patties help maintain colony strength by:

  • Providing essential proteins and amino acids
  • Supporting healthy digestive function with probiotics
  • Preventing a drop in population and activity

This ensures colonies remain stable and productive until natural pollen returns.

Preparing for Demanding Seasons

Late summer and autumn can also place stress on colonies, especially when preparing for winter.
Using WonderBee patties in these phases helps maintain:

  • Strong forager numbers
  • Healthy brood levels
  • Better immunity going into colder temperatures

Beekeepers who supplement during autumn often observe improved winter survival and smoother spring build-up.


Using WonderBee at the right times maximizes colony resilience and long-term productivity.
Healthy bees build healthy seasons — and WonderBee is here to support every stage of their journey.
