Global Patties is a family owned and operated wholesaler of protein patties for Honey Bees.  We have been in operation since 2002, but started out as hobby beekeepers in Hungary.  We proudly serve all of Canada and the United States from our warehouses in Airdrie, Alberta and Butte, Montana, respectively. Global offers a variety of standard patties made with a time-tested recipe of natural ingredients, with or without real pollen, as well as custom patties to meet any specific requests. Feeding your colonies protein supplement patties will help them grow by increasing brood production thereby increasing overall honey flow. Did you know Global invented and made popular the timesaving paper sandwich patty design? This has been copied by others and is now being used universally!

At Strong Microbials, our dedicated microbiologists and master beekeepers developed and field-tested SuperDFM®-Honeybee™ to promote strong digestion ;and nutrient absorption, leading to increased nurse bee vitellogenin and stronger hive immunity.

The latest academic research has led to the creation of SuperDFM®+P801™, a probiotic that protects pollinators from pesticides.  +P801™ has all the beneficial microbes in SuperDFM®, plus Pediococcus (P801). Feeding Pediococcus bacteria to honeybees has been scientifically shown to reduce the harmful effects of agrochemicals. Pediococcus activates honeybee's detoxification process and helps to protect your colonies from pesticide and fungicide exposure.  

When it comes to microbes, numbers really matter! Our microbiologists quality check every batch and guarantee the concentration of viable CFUs (colony forming units) is delivered every time. Strong Mcrobials is proud to say that SuperDFM® and +P801™ are the highest concentration and best value available.
