ZincSmart™ nutrition for stronger, calmer, more resilient colonies.
A natural feed additive that strengthens immunity and supports brood care. Proven to deliver healthier bees, calmer hives, and more productive colonies.
Backed by 40+ years of expertise in zinc nutrition and bee health.
What you can expect…
Essential for queen bee growth and egg-laying. With better nutrition, bees produce more royal jelly, supporting stronger queens, longer lifespans, and higher egg production.
Increase in royal jelly
Healthy pH levels improve digestion, gut microbiota, and immune response. By keeping stress and pathogens in check, bees are better equipped to fight disease.
Balanced pH for stronger immunity
Good nutrition reduces stress, creating calmer bees that forage more efficiently, store more food, and show fewer signs of swarming or aggression.
Calmer, lesser stressed hives
Well-fed colonies grow faster and stay healthier, leading to more honey, stronger brood, and better pollination results.
Larger, more productive colonies
🧪 ZincSmart™ additive
Stronger bees start here: ZincSmart™ nutrition
Our feed additive is designed to go beyond basic sugar supplements. By combining essential micronutrients with zinc-based innovation, we give bees the strength to thrive in today’s challenging environment.
Why it works:
Boosts royal jelly: healthier queens, stronger colonies.
Strengthen immunity: better resistance to diseases and parasites.
Reduces hives stress: calmer, more productive bees.
Increase efficiency: more honey, stronger brood, better pollination.
How it’s used:
Mix with sugar and water; 10 gram of ZincSmart™ per 1 kg sugar. Feed year-round or in times of stress, low forage, or winter prep. Bees consume it readily, making colonies stronger and more resilient.
One pack enriches up to 50 kg of feed.

“Beekeeping as it is today leaves bees weak and vulnerable to Varroa Destructor, viruses, and parasites. We must change how we feed and support them. With zinc-smart nutrition, I’ve seen stronger queens, calmer hives, and more resilient colonies; it’s a real step forward for the future of beekeeping.”

For a stronger, healthier colony
Proper nutrition supports bees at every level of their lifecycle, from larva to queen. Here’s how zinc-smart nutrition strengthens colony health.
Adequate nutrition helps larvae develop into robust worker bees, building a stronger, more efficient hive workforce.
Population growth
A healthier, less stressed queen lays more eggs, lives longer, and supports the overall stability of the colony.
Queen development
Honey production
Well-fed colonies produce and store more honey, securing energy for survival and growth.
Active, nourished bees visit more flowers and transfer more pollen, boosting crop yields and biodiversity.
Pollination efficiency
Zinc-smart nutrition strengthens bees’ immune systems, reducing vulnerability to parasites and pathogens.
Disease resistance
Winter survival
Strong colonies are better equipped to endure harsh winter months.
