How to Feed Fondant to Honeybees

Directions: Cut a small cross in the centre of the bag using your hive tool, then tuck the flaps underneath to create a small opening.

Feeding with no Feeders

For hives that do not have a top feeders during winter feeding, place opening face down on top of your brood frames to mitigate honey blindness. For warmer weather feeding, place opening face up.

Feeding with a Top Feeder

For hives that do have top feeders like the Paradise Honey hive or Ceracell Feeders, place the open face upwards in the centre of the feeder. Remember to to take out the restricting covers (transparent chimney/ corner restrictor or side restrictor) of the feeders to allow the bees full access of the whole feeder. This will allow them to access the Bee Fondant.

How much Fondant Do Bees Need?

Consider several bags throughout winter based on the size and strength of your colonies, honey reserves, and access to external resources like nectar. It's important to ensure they have enough nourishment during this season.

Bee Fondant 2kg

Always a pleasure dealing with Buzzbee, my latest purchase has proved an easy option to boosting the strength of my hive coming out of winter. Seven days in and the pic tells the story.

Sugar feed for a weak hive

A 2 Kilo lot has been added to a weak hive that needed feeding due to the cold and wet weather we are currently experiencing. It will be interesting to the health after another two days. After days we appear to have more activity at the entrance.

Preparation Guide Fondant

To prepare bee fondant for placement in the hive, first ensure the fondant is cool and has solidified into a manageable consistency. Shape it into flat cakes or patties that fit easily onto the hive's frames or atop the brood chamber. Place the fondant directly above the cluster of bees, ideally on a piece of wax paper or inside a feeder, ensuring it’s easily accessible to the bees. This provides them with a steady food source during colder months when natural foraging is limited.
