Hive Alive Fondant Patty Winter Feed

Regular price $6.29
Unit price per

We are excited to offer Hive Alive fondant patties. Many beekeepers have asked us for a winter feeding patty option, and we're glad to have it. These fondant patties for bees are made with a dosage of Hive Alive feeding supplement and additional vitamins and amino acids. Hive Alive is an internationally recognized product designed to support the following:

  • Boost colony health and population
  • Increase honey production
  • Dramatically reduce Nosema spores, a common contributor to winter bee losses

Giving bees a winter sugar feed right above the cluster is important to keeping them alive in the winter months. Rather than feeding plain sugar alone, Hive Alive fondant patties include added nutritional support for the cold months. A convenient winter bee feed option with added vitamins and amino acids. 

We sell this product in individual patties or cases of 15. All orders over $100 qualify for free shipping.


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. Feeding bees in winter with Hive Alive fondant is a practical way to support your colonies through the cold season.


Dara Scott, inventor of Hive Alive, discusses the benefits of the Hive Alive fondant patty and how to apply it in this video:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes HillCo products different from other beekeeping suppliers?

HillCo is a family-owned business built by beekeepers, for beekeepers. Founder John Hill started out as a hobbyist frustrated by how expensive beekeeping equipment had become, so HillCo focuses on offering high-quality, core beekeeping products at more affordable prices than competitors by buying in higher volume direct from manufacturers, limiting selection to focus on core items, and keeping operating costs low. That means real savings passed on to you, backed by friendly, personal customer service.For more info, visit our About page.
