Apipasta Fondant - Winter Feed
A quick note on this product: we purchased a pallet of it to test on our own bees, as we looked to develop a new, affordable fondant product under our Turbo™ feeds brand.
In our testing, we liked the formulation, and the bees took it quite well, but since this company did not want to private label the product for us, we went with a different manufacturer (product launching soon!).
Here's an opportunity to snag some really good fondant at a fabulous "blow-out" price!
Apipasta is a paste-like feed mainly composed of sucrose, which makes it very attractive for bees and easy to use for beekeepers.
It is composed of micro-crystals of an average size of 15 µm. Each crystal is coated with a layer of glucose syrup, especially designed to be easily assimilated by bees.
- Easy-to-use product, not requiring previous preparation or water to be added.
- Very good assimilation, especially designed for extraction and ingestion by bees.
- Product eaten by bees with no residue in the beehive, avoiding that honey may be contaminated by sugars.
- Long-lasting product, which may be preserved for 18 months if stored in normal conditions.
- Absence of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), toxic substance for bees.
- Possibility of adding vitamins and proteins to the product.
- Tailor-made to the specific needs of migratory beekeeping.
