Sweet Bee Granulated Sugar Bee Feed
This sucrose feed from Lappe's Bee Supply & Honey Farm LLC can be given to your honey bees 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. It can also be given to your hives 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.
