TURBO™ Fondant - Winter Bee Feed Patty
Regular price
$5.69
We're SO EXCITED to launch a high quality, affordable fondant product under our Turbo™ feeds brand!
This fondant is made by a reputable European manufacturer, using the same process and formulas as other leading brands sold in the U.S. market.
Turbo™ fondant is a sugar-only fondant bee food, and does not include any additional vitamins or other additives. A simple, affordable winter bee feed.
This fondant for bees has a consistency and texture designed to make it easy for bees to ingest. Stop making your own sugar bricks/cakes, or the very messy "mountain camp" method. Simply place these bee fondant patties on your hives and you're good to go.
Turbo™ fondant patties are 2.2 lb (1kg) each, available individually or in cases of 12 patties.
When to feed fondant:
Fondant can be fed anytime, but it is most beneficial to feed in winter and very early spring, when the temps are too cold to feed liquid syrup.
How to feed:
To feed, cut a 4" square hole in the front (label side) of the package and place it with the opening face-down on top of your frames. We prefer to take the whole front side of the package off for easier bee access. A shim may be necessary.
How much should I use?
Great question, but it depends largely on weather conditions and colony strength. At a minimum, plan to feed 1-1.5 patties per month to each hive during the winter and early spring months.
Patties can be stored at room temp (below 85 degrees F).
