The Science Behind
The World's First Approved Bee Vaccine
How it works
The Dalan vaccine technology exposes queen bees to inactive (i.e., “dead”) bacteria, which enables the larvae hatched in the hive to resist infection.
Dalan can assist in creating a custom vaccination program for your operation that is compatible with a variety of commonly used queen cages.
Queen survival
In tests, immune priming showed no negative impact on queen fitness.

Honey quality
Dalan Animal Health is using its platform technology to develop vaccines for multiple diseases.
“What this team is accomplishing will be the long term future of beekeeping. It’s the change and the direction that the industry has badly needed for some time and has patiently waited for.”
