HiveAlive Fondant Bee Feed – 1 kg Bag or Box of 15

Premium Honey Bee Fondant Enriched with HiveAlive, Vitamins & Amino Acids

Give your honey bee colonies a convenient source of supplemental nutrition with HiveAlive Fondant, available from Innisfil Creek Honey.

HiveAlive Fondant is a premium, ready-to-use honey bee feed that combines finely processed sugar fondant with HiveAlive's natural active ingredients, added vitamins, and amino acids selected for honey bee nutrition.

Unlike traditional plain sugar fondant, HiveAlive Fondant provides a convenient carbohydrate source enriched with additional nutrients, making it an excellent option for beekeepers managing seasonal feeding requirements.

Manufactured using enzymatic hydrolysis without acids or high-heat processing, HiveAlive Fondant is designed to minimize the formation of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a compound that can be harmful to honey bees at elevated concentrations.

Its unique super-flat patty design makes it convenient to place inside the hive, allowing bees to access supplemental feed during periods when natural forage is unavailable.

Whether you're preparing colonies for winter, supporting bees during late winter, or providing supplemental food during early spring, HiveAlive Fondant is a practical feeding solution for hobby and commercial beekeepers.

Available in two convenient purchasing options:

• 1 kg (2.2 lb) Bag – Ideal for individual colonies, backyard beekeepers, and smaller apiaries.

• Box of 15 × 1 kg Bags (15 kg / approximately 33 lb total) – Ideal for larger apiaries, commercial beekeepers, and bulk seasonal feeding.

More Than Ordinary Honey Bee Fondant

Traditional honey bee fondant primarily supplies carbohydrates.

HiveAlive Fondant takes supplemental feeding a step further by combining sugar fondant with HiveAlive and an optimized blend of vitamins and amino acids.

Its formulation includes:

• Beet sugar and sugar syrup for supplemental energy.

• Dried seaweed meal from the Fucaceae family.

• Thyme and lemongrass oil.

• Hydrolysed yeast as a source of amino acids.

• Added B vitamins and other selected nutrients.

This combination makes HiveAlive Fondant a convenient enriched alternative to conventional sugar-only fondant.

Ideal for Winter & Early Spring Feeding

During the colder months, honey bee colonies rely on stored honey and other available food reserves.

If a colony runs low on accessible food, supplemental fondant may help provide an additional carbohydrate source.

HiveAlive Fondant can be used as part of a feeding program during:

• Winter: Supplemental feeding when accessible food stores are insufficient.

• Late Winter: Additional feed when colonies begin increasing brood-rearing activity.

• Early Spring: Supplemental feeding before reliable nectar flows begin.

• Periods of Limited Forage: Feeding when natural food sources are scarce.

• Emergency Feeding: Providing accessible feed to colonies at risk of running out of food.

The flat patty design allows convenient placement near the cluster using an appropriate hive feeding arrangement.

Beekeeping Tip: Fondant can be especially useful during cold weather when liquid sugar syrup feeding may be impractical.

Always assess colony food stores and follow appropriate seasonal beekeeping practices.
