Premium beekeeping feed manufactured
withKorean expertise
"The science of beekeeping,
the cycle of nature, and sustainability."
Sun&Bee is a nutritional feed supplement that helps maintain bee vitality, provides nutritional support, and assists with stress management, contributing to a stable feeding environment.
Scientific Evidence
Bee Health, Backed by Science
Viral infections such as Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) and Lake Sinai Virus (LSV) are among the most critical threats to global honey bee populations.
Recent peer-reviewed research has demonstrated that extracts derived from polypore mushroom mycelium can significantly reduce viral loads in honey bees.
The study was inspired by observations of bees naturally foraging on fungal mycelium and evaluated its effects through both laboratory and field trials.
Results showed that colonies fed with specific mycelium extracts experienced dramatic reductions in DWV and LSV levels—ranging from tens to tens of thousands-fold compared to control groups.
Sun&Bee develops its nutritional solutions based on these scientific insights, focusing on supporting the bee immune environment through mycelium-derived compounds rather than chemical intervention.
Sun&Bee's premium bee nutrition supplement
Sun&Bee is a supplementary solution that supports honey bee health and colony maintenance,
based on functional immune compounds extracted from mushroom mycelium and natural resin.
With consistent feeding, you can expect the following benefits:
How Sun&Bee is Used
Developed based on Samgu Farm's 56 years of mushroom research expertise,
Sun&Bee helps provide balanced nutrition and maintain condition when used alongside regular feeding management,
contributing to stable field operations.
How It Works
A Nutritional Approach to Immune Support
Sun&Bee is not a medical treatment or antiviral drug.
Instead, it is designed to support the internal immune balance of honey bees, helping colonies better cope with viral pressure.
Scientific studies indicate that bioactive compounds derived from mushroom mycelium may:
-
- Reduce viral expression levels
-
- Support immune-related physiological responses
-
- Contribute to overall colony stability
Based on these mechanisms, Sun&Bee is formulated as a nutritional supplement suitable for routine colony management and periods of increased stress.
Detailed Functions
-
Observations Related to Reduction of Weak and Low-Functioning Bees
-
A tendency has been observed where the proportion of crawling bees with low energy decreases alongside improvements in feeding conditions.
-
Reduced unexplained mortality can help maintain colony strength.
2. Observations Related to Improved Laying Condition
-
Field cases have been reported where brood comb laying patterns remained consistent.
-
Can help support stable queen bee laying activity.
3. Support for Varroa and External Stress Management
-
Some ingredients may help reduce the burden of external stimuli on bees.
-
Can be used complementarily for varroa and external stress management in situations where feeding conditions work together.
4. Support for Maintaining Vitality and Condition
-
Contains mushroom-derived ingredients that can be used as a supplement for maintaining bee vitality and balanced feeding management.
-
Similar in ingredient structure to general feed supplements used for other insects and livestock.
Why Mushroom Mycelium
A Natural Resource for Immune Support
Mushroom mycelium naturally produces a wide range of bioactive compounds to protect itself against bacteria, viruses, and environmental stressors.
Species such as Ganoderma, Fomes, and Trametes—used in the referenced research—have long been studied for their antimicrobial and antiviral properties.
This research expands their relevance into the field of honey bee health.
Sun&Bee embraces the potential of mycelium as a nature-based resource, supporting sustainable and long-term colony management.
