For the weeks there is no pollen
Everything a colony builds is made of protein, and protein comes from pollen. In early spring there is not enough of it yet; in late autumn there is none left. Those are precisely the weeks a colony is either building for the season ahead or building the bees that have to get through the winter.
Vipo is the powder — vitamins, plant protein, amino acids, prebiotic and probiotic in one tin, stirred into syrup. Two grams to the kilo, which is a level teaspoon.
A hundred kilos of syrup from one tin. Two grams per kilo, out of 200 g. That is the arithmetic of the powder form, and it is why this works out cheaper per litre of feed than anything else in the range.
Early spring and late autumn. The two pollen gaps. It is meant to be alternated with the liquids across the season rather than chosen instead of them.
Never into hot syrup. Below 30–40 °C. Heat destroys live cultures and enzymes, and syrup you have just made is far too hot — let it cool first. This goes for everything in the range that ends up in a bucket, not only this one.
Natural, and no residue in honey or comb.
The liquids it alternates with: Vita Bee Vitamin, Bion Liquid Probiotic and Cont Bee Gut Regulator.

Common questions
- Does it contain anything of animal origin?
- The manufacturer declares this product to be entirely of plant and mineral origin, containing no ingredients of animal origin — no honey, milk, meat, egg, animal protein or animal fat.
- Does it leave any residue in the honey?
- No. The products leave no residue in honey or comb, so a treated colony still produces honey you can harvest and sell normally.
- Can I use it during the honey flow?
- Yes. Because nothing carries over into the honey, they can be used during the flow rather than only in the gaps between harvests.
- How often can it be used?
- They can be used continuously through the season and repeated season after season — there is no withdrawal period to plan around and no rotation requirement.
- The product has a smell — is something wrong?
- No, that is expected. The products are naturally made and contain fermented ingredients, which can give off a noticeable smell. Bees find it attractive rather than off-putting — it is a scent they seek out.
- How long does it keep, and how should it be stored?
- Each pack carries a recommended use-by date, generally 24 months from manufacture. Keep it in its original packaging between 5 and 20 °C, out of direct sunlight. The smell and any settling may change over time — that belongs to a naturally produced, fermented product.
- Can I return an opened product?
- No. For health and hygiene reasons, a product whose own vented plastic cap or inner packet has been opened cannot be returned (EU Consumer Rights Directive art. 16). The outer shipping box does not count — you may open the parcel and look at the goods. Products with their own seal intact can be returned within 14 days.
