The 1 gallon size is ideal for hobby beekeepers, small apiaries, emergency feeding, or targeted support for packages, nucs, and splits.

Is HiveAlive EZ Feed already mixed?

Yes. This liquid bee feed arrives fully pre-mixed at a 2:1 sugar-to-water ratio and is ready to pour directly into your feeder.

• No mixing required
• No boiling water needed
• Optional dilution if desired

How do you dilute EZ Feed from 2:1 to 1:1?

If you prefer a lighter syrup for spring build-up or comb drawing, you can dilute EZ Feed to a 1:1 ratio.

• Mix 3 parts syrup with 1 part water
• Example: 3 quarts syrup + 1 quart water
• Stir thoroughly until uniform
• Use clean containers to prevent contamination

Can EZ Feed be used for packages and nucs?

Yes. HiveAlive EZ Feed Super Syrup can be used to support packages, nucs, and splits when supplemental feeding is needed.

• Feed as shipped (2:1) or dilute to 1:1
• Monitor consumption regularly
• Adjust based on nectar flow and weather conditions

During early spring installation, many beekeepers choose 1:1 to encourage comb building, while 2:1 is often selected for building stores.

Will feeding syrup affect honey harvest?

Many beekeepers avoid feeding liquid syrup while honey supers intended for harvest are on the hive to reduce the risk of unintended mixing.
