Item Package Quantity:4 100% Bakers fondant consisting of Sugar, Glucose Syrup and Water. These 1 KG blocks come in a handy plastic storage container. No need for additional equipment such as miller feeders, this product can simply be placed on your crown board. Simple and easy to use, save time and effort when feeding your bees. Ideal for use during autumn and winter to prepare your bees for cold or rainy weather, for artificial swarming, splitting colonies and stimulating activity and egg laying during early spring. Appears to reduce the likeliness of robbing from other bees or attracting of wasps as there are no spillages caused by its use, unlike other food products. Has a long shelf life – can last up to one year when adequately wrapped, stored in a cool, dry place and kept away from mice.

Good value and ideal size.
On inspection of my colony of bees I noticed there was little to zero honey in February on the combs. Aaarghh! Don't understand that as the winter hasn't been that severe here in Gloucestershire. So I got this supply of fondant quickly and the bees seem to love it. Convenient tubs and I just had to remove the lid and pop the tub in the hive upside down for the bees to easily access the food.Hopefully it will keep them going into the Spring time when they can look after themselves once again as warmer weather comes along.Seems I have lots of bees in there so hopefully caught this problem in time. Also I took zero honey from the hive in the preceding months so I can only assume they consumed their stores all through the winter for themselves.Writing this on 20th March 2021 when the weather is a bit erratic at the Monet... a few sunny days and cold snaps and cold nights but I have noticed they're starting to fly out and bringing back pollen and nectar so once we get past this next week hopefully they'll be ok for the coming next months. I have a "new" 2020 queen in there so I hope the colony progresses ok.
