Sweet Bee Corn Sugar Bee Feed
This dextrose feed from Lappe's Bee Supply & Honey Farm LLC can be given to your honey bees in the spring and summer months as a liquid feed to stimulate egg laying and increase comb building, or in the early fall to increase winter stores. Corn Sugar Bee Feed can also be given in the overwintering months as a dry feed, as a winter patty, or as a candy board mixture to help get your honey bee colony through the cold winter weather.
