Ingredients to Add Complexity and Usable Nutrition to my Protein Patty Mix

[@issentsov]

Oups, I've been mentioned. There are a lot of translators out there like me, but only I translate for free) This one will be translated as well

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Thank you for that, I was hoping that you would translate this one 👍

This is awesome stuff your doing, keeping the bees happy and healthy. Keep up the great work.

Thank You for great lesson.

[@lagrangebees]

Thank you for the recipe, having good alternatives to store bought pollen sub is a great tool to have :)

[@RyanPardoe]

Thanks for sharing, Ian. It’s always interesting to hear from the perspective of someone looking through an experienced animal husbandry lens.

[@adamfredrickson7908]

Fantastic Ian!

[@CastleHives]

Global Patties are definitely a great product, I think you'll be happy with them. Listening to your chat with Humberto a while back is what convinced me to look into and use Patties in my operation. What a difference if used properly. Good stuff Ian. That recipe seems spot on.

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

We're like tied with Ian points lol

Once again thanks for sharing.

[@GEEZBEEZ]

Thank you for the information.

[@richardnoel3141]

Very suprised about the patty recipe, thinking it was way more complicated. Thanks so much for sharing. Yes bees soon!! 💪🏻💯🐝🤓

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

Coconut oil was game changer in my operation can honestly see I could say the results vs using veg oil

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

The complicated part was everything I did regarding the ApisBiologix mix. Simply add the pouch now

[@richardnoel3141]

@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog isn’t that always the case.! Any rate, we are all grateful for your sharing of your hard work. Hoping to get some Apis Biologics for myself in france.

Hey I am using that same mixture too, but I am adding gelatin for patty to stay moist.

Hello from Belarus. There is no production of protein feed in our country, so people are interested and looking for an opportunity to make their own in order to solve the problem with the lack of protein feed. Your videos help, but without an exact recipe, people try to add their ingredients to it, constantly experimenting)

Totally agree with the addition of borage oil ...the bees here go crazy over borage blooms.

[@Ghedi1965]

Thank you sir

[@LisaMcCullough-ni2bo]

Thanks for the great video. Do you use all of the different oils or just one?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

I use them all when I can source them all but coconut oil is the easiest to find.

[@Dampflanze]

Thank you for providing the recipe. Is there a substitute you can recomend for the egg yoke ? Do you suplement humic acid in some way in spring along with the patties ?

[@denniswittockwittock2350]

Senor thanks for that info ok 👍 love to you all

[@seanjordan3870]

A quick question and haven't found the answer in other videos. In one of your earlier videos you poured your coffee and then used a bee tool to "spoon" out some honey creamer concoction into your cup and stirred it with the bee tool. Which I found amusing. Anyway, curious to know what was in that concoction?

[@thomaskoppenhaver2758]

Great video, thanks for the info on your recipe and when you use it. I can imagine a Canadian would give an Eastern European translator fits! Isn't HFCS questionable for bees? Flax oil is also great for seasoning cast iron cookware.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

I will argue the questionable nature of HFCS. It is a familiar sugar type to bees, they love to consume it. It also is a good usable sugar source. Its problem comes with storage over a length of time and the degradation of the sugar and its related HMF content that hampers the bees as they consume it.

[@thomaskoppenhaver2758]

@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog Thank you for the comment, I didn't know that about the age issue with HFCS. Perhaps the naysayers used old stock and then gave a negative label for that ingredient. I'm inclined to follow your advice since you are obviously successful in a tough climate. I'm a few hours SE of you across the border in MN, and it seems a good idea to pay attention to what you are doing since I have identical issues. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@ericlovvorn558]

What kind of bucket are you using for feeding?

[@particle7246]

Would it be useful to add a little white vinegar to a pollen pattie mix? 🤔

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

im not sure about that, other than to adjust the ph to more acidic, which is also good, but tricky. Be careful

Hello from Ukraine Ian! Active brewer's yeast or for cattle feed?

[@rosspower7514]

Ian, what crude protein % Brewers Yeast would you recommend? appears down here in the northeast USA, we can get bulk in various percentages like 28% and 40%. Thank you for all your great content. I have learned so much from your straight forward, no BS way to get it done and express the lessons learned.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

I’d need to check, use the higher %

[@rosspower7514]

@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog looks like it is the same for the Soy Flour.... about 35% - 44% crude protein.

[@seanmooney5702]

Will you do a test to see what extra it adds to honey production per hive and if it justifies the cost on a commercial basis?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

That depends on how you justify healthy colonies. If you have pollen, don’t waste your money. If pollen is lacking quantity or lacking diversity , a focus on a feed program will pay in dividends

[@seanmooney5702]

@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog, I get that 100%. I'm interested to see if it makes a bottom-line difference to your operation. I understand that sometimes we do things we feel are correct, and often anecdotal evidence is enough to persuade us. This seems to be the perfect time to compare results from the year before it was added to a year when it was - per hive. If that makes sense. I feed pollen sub, so I would be incredibly interested in the actual figure-based results.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Oh ya I conduct those in-house comparative trials with everything that I do. It’s why I complain about everything all the time, because sometimes it’s exactly as you suggest. Then there are those times that all of a sudden yield huge growth and development. Why? I think there are more things going on than we appreciate and trying to manage the unknown is like throwing an axe at the wall hoping it will stick, By employing purpose behind what we are doing helps us stick that axe more regularly. If you have pollen, don’t waste your money. If you don’t have pollen, it’s time to get creative. I find success

That's why I find this so interesting. We should maybe have more Italian blood, but they're frowned upon... go figure. If it's not, black beekeepers want to lynch you.

That’s exactly the intent of feeding supplements, to press the situation forward

[@naturessweetbees3033]

Thank you for the recipe...I almost feel disappointed knowing this year we are not likely to see you mixing patties with the cool new extruder you built last year. lol...I thought it was pretty cool anyways.

[@hiveworkshoney]

your last video you said you dont use egg what changed or is the same basic one as last time?

I don’t remember saying that I don’t use egg, when mixing, I definitely use egg yoke. Not egg white. Perhaps that’s what you heard

Jedwards International. I only use the expensive mix during crunch times

Thanks Ian, another great video. Your following has gone global. If you need a translator, I know a guy; I think he does 'Screech Ins' on the side. haha As you want this recipe to mix up thick, I'll assume that you use heavy (2:1) syrup, not light syrup? Cheers, Marc.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Definitely heavy syrup

[@robotron7]

Ian, next time you have one of these conversations with Russian-speaking nations, keep me in mind. I am fluent in both languages, would be glad to help, especially since I understand the nuances of beekeepers' needs.

[@sinisterhipp0]

Great video, finally got that recipe after years of viewing. But YOU feed 5lbs of patty after the main flow because after the ocean of canola flowers finished there is nothing in your area except the sunflowers you plant? Your viewers should understand this advise is geographical to you.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

yes if there is pollen, feeding isn't needed , but many beekeepers are fooled into a lull some years as they expect pollen is coming in and there isnt

Guess I need to lay off the coconut oil only 1 lb to 50 lb .. I've been using 1/2 gallon to the 5 gallon bucket.. of coconut oil. No wonder the hive beetles don't like it.. bees did really good way better results than veg oil .

Could i just add a essential amino acid pill to a mix of feed if i calculate mg-lb? this would work to cover all amino acids correct or am I missing something
