How to Use:

Winter Feed – Making Bee Patties:

• Dissolve white sugar in hot water (not boiling) at a 2:1 ratio (two kilos white sugar: one kilo water).
• Mix the hot sugar syrup directly into the ‘ABS Bee Food’ TM until it forms a thick paste.
• Roll out the paste onto baking paper or make patties, allowing them to thicken overnight.
• Place the bee patties into your hive; the bees will chew the paper and discard it.

Winter Feed – Powder:

• Put 250g-500g on a small tray and place it under the lid of the top box. The bees will consume the feed as needed.

Pre-Spring Feed:

• Dissolve white sugar in hot water (not boiling) at a 1:1 ratio (one kilo white sugar: one kilo water).
• Mix the hot sugar syrup directly into the ‘ABS Bee Food’ TM until it forms a thick paste.
• Roll out the paste onto baking paper or make patties, allowing them to thicken overnight.
• To increase egg production, use a fruit dehydrator to make the patties thicker at 4-10 hours at 60-70˚C.
