| 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.

| SALE: 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. 51 x 42 x 5.5 cm. | Wasps / Mites / Ants, Assembled Boxes and Frames, All Wooden Ware, All Hive Components | Original price was: $34.00.$28.00Current price is: $28.00. | |
