Pack Size: 16kg bag of syrup in a box
This bee syrup is ready to use and does not require the addition of water. This artificial nectar can be fed as bee food for winter or after a honey harvest to prevent your bees from starving.
Even when temperatures are low, the high fructose content of the syrup helps to prevent crystallisation inside the feeder. The high resistance to microbiological spoilage due to a sugar content of 72.7% guarantees a long shelf life.
Directions for Use: No additional preparation is necessary. Open the box to pull the bag tap out, pour the syrup into your bee feeder as required.
Country of Origin: Germany
APIINVERT is produced by Südzucker, their beekeeping supplies contain only sugars from the sugar beet that the bees can fully utilise, unlike comparable bee feed syrups based on wheat or corn. The sugar beet is processed regionally and sustainably.
Not all feeds are created equal. For more than 40 years, Südzucker, Europe’s largest sugar producer, has been using its extensive knowledge and many years of experience to offer the API quality range of feeding products.
Storage Instructions: Keep the bag stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Recommended storage temperature 10°C to 25°C.
As stated by another review, watch that initial pour, I decanted some into 2.5 litre containers to save me carrying the box, made a bit of a mess but the bees love it. I like the fact that im not stuck with yet another big plastic container. Fast service as always and helpful advice
I thought that holding a 16kg box with one hand and opening the cap with the other whilst aiming the box at one side of a polynuc feeder might be a bit tricky as this was the first box I had tried. So I decided to fill a jug. The cap was quite tricky to open and needed a penknife to prise it apart (a bit easier the second time) When I opened the cap to fill the jug a jet of syrup shot out and landed on the floor of the shed a foot away from the box and missing the jug entirely. Even if I had been putting it directly into the nuc feeder most of it would have missed.
I spent half an hour scooping syrup off the shed floor with the flat end of a hive tool - not the most entertaining of activities!
Subsequent fills of my jug were fine.
I like the idea of the bag in a box rather than adding to my stack of plastic jerry cans but would have appreciated a warning.
First order as had my very first Nuc coming. Very efficient and quick delivery, very happy bees. Will certainly purchase from here again.
Bees love it, never a drop left and the conveyance of the packaging to handle is 👍
