Exclusive to Hagens Bees in the UK
AnimalUP Bees Fondant is a ready-to-use complementary carbohydrate feed designed to provide honey bees with an accessible source of energy when supplementary feeding is required.
Produced in Europe exclusively for Hagens Bees, this non-GMO fondant consists of fine sugar microcrystals coated with glucose syrup. This formulation helps prevent the sugar crystals from drying out while creating a soft, practical feed that can be placed directly above the colony.
With 91% dry matter and only 9% moisture, AnimalUP offers a convenient alternative to liquid syrup when feeding colonies during colder periods or when additional food reserves are needed. No mixing, heating or preparation is required—simply open the pack and place it over the frames.
