Bees need protection. This is it.
Over 20 years ago, bee expert Dr. Peter Kevan at the University of Guelph came up with the idea of bees carrying fungal powders out to plants to fight pests and diseases. In just the last few years, bee vectoring is being used to improve the health of many crops like strawberries and blueberries.
Dr. Kevan hypothesized that bee vectoring could fight pests and diseases inside a beehive. But bees are clever! If you put a powder inside the hive, they just carry it right out. Dr. Kevan reached out to Dr. Erica Shelley from Best for Bees™, a long-time beekeeper and researcher, to solve this problem! And thus was born, the ProtectaBEE™.

The ProtectaBEE™ allows bees to carry powders INTO the hive to improve health and simplify beekeeping. Our patent-pending design ensures that the bees transfer the powders throughout the hive at the right concentration while minimizing loss to the external environment.
Avoid lifting heavy honey boxes, squishing bees, and stings while keeping the bees healthy.
