Invertbee - Invert Syrup perfect for winter stores!
Wondering how Invertbee compares to buying sugar and mixing yourself? Invertbee contains approximately ~20kg sugar. 20kg of sugar from Costco is £25.56 at the time of writing, add in your fuel and time mixing... Plus home mixed sugar syrup is a messy job and goes off in a week - Best just leave it to the professionals. 1.37kg / L sugar concentration.
Benefits:
Stable for 12 months
Doesn't need capping by the bees
No mess, and easy pour 14kg jerry cans
Invertbee syrup is a premium quality feed for bees. This product has been inverted (sucrose broken to glucose and fructose) for easier processing by the bees. Used for simulative feeding, feeding for comb drawing and especially for providing winter stores.
It is guaranteed to stay stable in its original form for 12 months and does not necessarily need to be ‘capped off’ by the bees. It can therefore be fed much later into the autumn, eg, after heather honey has been taken off the hives. It is excellent for using as a spring stimulant simply by giving each normal hive one to two litres at a time..
Invertbee Syrup Feed
Invertbee syrup is explicitly produced for honey bee‘s and is ready to go at any time of the year. It won't granulate in the comb easily like other sugar syrup may do; this can prevent any potential starvation over the Winter months.
Based mainly on sugarbeet sugar which has been inverted by using a protein enzyme, this raises the monosaccharide's (simple sugars used for energy storage) to almost 50% of the product.
This enables the bees to digest the syrup much more readily than simply feeding
