Supplementary diet for a non-coconut area : syrup and maize pollen
A study was made on the effect of providing sugar syrup and maize pollen by growing the maize adjacent to the hives. The performance of similar strength six-frame hives showed superior development (measurement by egg-laying capacity) of syrup and maize pollen over other single supplements and the control (check) colonies.
The combination of syrup and pollen was the most beneficial treatment for colony development in a non-coconut area.
