We're SO EXCITED to launch a high quality, affordable fondant product under our Turbo™ feeds brand!
This fondant for bees is made by an established 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.
Our bee fondant is formulated with a consistency and texture designed to make it easy for bees to ingest. Don't mess around making your own sugar bricks/cakes, or the very messy "mountain camp" method. Just toss these fondant patties on your hives and you're good to go.
Turbo fondant patties come in a 2.2 lb (1kg) size. You can either buy them individually, or in cases of 12 patties.
When to feed fondant:
Fondant can be fed anytime, but feeding bees in winter and very early spring is most common, when the temps are too cold to feed liquid syrup.
How to feed:
Simply cut a 4" square hole in the front (label side) of the package, and place with the opening face-down on top of your frames. We actually prefer to cut the whole front side of the package off for easier bee access.
A shim may be helpful or necessary to provide space on top of the frames.
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).
