Bumblebees require pollen as a protein source for the build-up of the colony. They also need nectar as a carbohydrate (sugar) source. Since the flowers of certain plants (e.g. tomatoes) do not produce any nectar, the colony needs to be provided with a sugar solution.

BIOGLUC^®, a ready-to-use food solution developed by Biobest, consists of a sugar solution, a preservative and a colouring agent which aids the monitoring of the food level.

BIOGLUC^® keeps well for at least 6 months in a cool, dark place.
