HIVE ALIVE Fondant Bee Food Supplement – Easy to Use Feed Enhancer Prevents Starvation During Overwintering – Only Fondant Proven to Increase Bee Gut Health and Boost Production-Single

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Anybody in beekeeping knows this is great stuff. Bees LOVE it. If you arent making your own, this is the next best thing.

The bees loved it! Installed in late winter to make sure the bees had some extra nutrients to get them going strong into spring, especially since we had to leave town for a couple weeks and couldn't monitor their sugar syrup or honey levels. still a little bit left in the bag here in April, so one bag per hive would probably last an entire winter and is a good insurance policy against potential starvation

Great item. I wish it wasn’t packaged in plastic.

The bees can't eat it fast enough. Key point - pour or spray on top or dip in water just before you set it over the cluster. The bees went for it. In the Spring, my bees were in a dearth and very grumpy, but the whole tenner of the hive went from AAAAA! to a hushed aaaaahhh when set it on the top of the frames. Now I keep an extra box on hand for emergency drought situations.

All I have to do is cut a portion off and place in the top of the hive for my bee's.

This is one of those go to products to get the bees through that last bit of winter and prepare the hive for the February/March winter dearth until nectar and pollens become available. I'm hopeful that this will decrease my hive mortality rate and I'll have strong hives ready for spring splits to rebuild my apiary.

The bees LOVE this and thrive with this added to their hive! It helps them get thru the winter along with a pollen patty from Hive Alive. I also use the liquid in the spring syrup feeding. Try this product -- The bees will be glad you did!!!

The media could not be loaded. It's absolutely amazing how much my bees love love love love this stuff. I just cut a rectangle in the front center of the package, flip it upside down and they immediately come to it. I think that this is supposed to last a couple months, maybe, I'm not positive, but ours lasts a couple weeks, so I get two! Don't misunderstand, it isn't the amount of product in the package, it's that they LOVE it SO MUCH.
