Around the world, honey bees have been vanishing at an alarming rate. Since bees not only provide honey, but are also vital for pollinating crops, this is not only distressing, it also puts agriculture at risk. The reasons for this decline are still unknown, but a Florida-based company claims to have found a solution in the form of a concentrated organic feed supplement. BeesVita is purported to not only protect bee colonies in danger of collapsing, but actually causes them to grow and thrive.

Any feedback on this?

It sounds to me like they are feeding the colonies a protein mix to supplement pollen, this would ensure a lot of brood which could help the hive to come back from a colony collapse episode, I doubt it would work more than once or twice though.
The protein mix is generally soy based or yeast.
