Fondant by HIVE ALIVE

What is Fondant?

Order a box of 15 and save.

Fondant is put on top of the colony, either under or over the inner cover, so no feeders are needed. It can be used as an autumn feed but is mainly used to top up over winter, when it is too cold to feed syrup, or in late winter when bees are running out of stores. Because it is placed directly over the cluster, the bees do not have to leave the cluster to access food, minimising the chance of starvation. Fondant is easy to handle and store and doesn’t cause robbing like syrup can.

Weight

Single Patty = 1kg/2.2lbs

Box of 15 = 15kg/33lbs

ApiLife Var (ALV) is a thymol-based varroa treatment used for decades to knock down mite levels in honey bee colonies. ALV comes in a package that includes two wafers made of a sponge-like inert material that allows for the gradual evaporation of the mix of four natural ingredients: thymol, eucalyptus oil, L-menthol, and camphor. Because of its slow-release nature, bees are less likely to become overwhelmed and disrupted by the treatment.

Slatted Rack

Slatted Racks sometimes fly below the radar as one of the most useful pieces of woodenware for your operation.

The purpose of a slatted rack is to provide dead air space below the brood chamber. This layer of air helps to keep the colony cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

To prevent developing brood from overheating in summer, honey bees are reluctant to accumulate in the nest. Instead, they may beard on the front of the hive or below the hive stand. However, if you add a slatted rack, the adult bees have a place to gather inside the hive without crowding the brood area.

BLUE HIVE GATE - Wasp & Robbing Protection

BLUE HIVE GATE. From New Zealand.

A simple, low-cost adjustment to any honey bee hive entrance helps bees protect against wasps (yellow jackets), robber bees and other would-be intruders. By creating a tunnel from the entrance of the hive to beneath the cluster, HiveGate not only confuses intruders, it also seems to help bees to regulate the temperature and humidity of their nest much more precisely, thereby potentially boosting their health and productivity.

NUCS 2026

We are not selling NUCS this year but we would love to send you a few names of people we recommend.

*If you are a new beekeeper we strongly recommend you start with a NUC (usually in May and June)  and not a Package of bees in March. 


NUC stands for ‘Nucleus Colony’

What is a NUC: In layman terms it is an established colony of bees on 4 or 5 frames that you put into your wooden hive box between other new frames. These 4 or 5 frames have a queen, lots of bees, eggs, brood, nectar and pollen plus some space for the queen to keep laying.

We recommend that new beekeepers begin with a NUC (as opposed to a package of bees that are imported in March)

NUCS should include an active laying queen; have 2-3 frames of Brood, 1 frame of food (nectar and pollen) and empty comb so the the queen can continue to lay.  The Brood will be in different stages – eggs, larvae, and capped.

Availability April-July (It depends on the weather and on when Queens are ready)
