BeeBoost mother pheromone (5 stamens)

BeeBoost pheromone strips are synthetic queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) products used in beekeeping. They are designed to mimic the natural pheromones produced by a queen bee, which can help manage the behavior of the colony.

Instructions for Use

While specific instructions for BeeBoost strips were not found in the search results, some general practices were mentioned:

1. The strips can be cut into smaller pieces depending on the intended use
2. A quarter of a strip can be placed in a hive to prevent the bees from absconding
3. The strips can be used in a queenless hive to maintain morale while a new queen is being introduced

Results and Effects

The use of BeeBoost strips can have several effects on a bee colony:

1. They can improve the success rate of mating nuc establishment, as treated nucs abscond less frequently
   
2. They can help keep bees from abandoning a nuc or hive
3. They can maintain morale in a queenless hive
4. They can draw loose stragglers together in a large honey house

The set includes 5 stamens.
