Every third bite of food humans eat depends on pollinators. Yet honeybee colonies worldwide are collapsing at alarming rates — largely due to poor nutrition. We are a well-funded, family-owned European scale-up developing science-based nutrition products for honeybees. Our flagship product, PRF-1, is the world's first manufactured feed that truly replaces pollen — the essential food source for honeybees.
