Why Do Beekeepers Use Bakers Fondant?
Bakers fondant is more than just a staple for desserts—it’s a vital tool for many beekeepers. Here’s why:
1. Emergency Food Source
During times when natural nectar sources are scarce, such as late winter or early spring, bees need an alternative food supply to survive. Bakers fondant is an excellent substitute for sugar water, providing the energy bees need to keep the hive active and warm during colder months.
2. Comparable to Commercial Bee Feed
This fondant is virtually identical to Ambrosia, a popular ready-made feed for bees. It offers the same high-quality nourishment, but at a fraction of the cost, making it a trusted choice among apiarists nationwide.
3. Purity Matters
The health of bees depends on the purity of their food. Bakers fondant contains only sugar, glucose syrup (a type of sugar), and water. There are no additives or artificial ingredients, ensuring it is safe and easy for bees to digest.
4. Convenience and Long-Lasting
Unlike sugar water, which can spoil quickly or require frequent preparation, bakers fondant is stable, easy to handle, and can be placed directly in the hive. It remains fresh for extended periods, making it a practical solution for busy beekeepers.
5. Trusted by Professionals
Apiarists across the UK rely on this fondant to maintain healthy colonies during challenging times. Its reliability and simplicity make it an indispensable resource for beekeepers, from hobbyists to commercial operations.
