Much of the work on MegaBee and the additional expense is related to
producing a liquid protein diet that did not settle out or spoil. As far
as I know, few actually use it as a liquid. I would be interested in
knowing if any here do so, and to what extent.
I suspect any superiority lies in its use as a liquid and as a dry feed or
patty, Megabee has little, if anything, to offer that other feeds do not and
it is expensive.
As I say often, the decision for most beekeepers comes down to cost,
availability and freshness. Freight can be a huge cost for those buying
small quantities.
The question of what is really in some of these proprietary feeds is also
something to think about.
