Dear Janko,
 
although I know this product I doubt whether this substance is a great help for beekeepers. To my opionion the only one, who
has success is the firm selling these products.
The best thing for stimulating spring developments of the hives is migration with your hives to warmer regions with good
pollen supplies. Here in Germany beekeepers with a lot of hives sometimes migrate up to 200 km.
 
Sincerely
 
Reimund
