Südzucker APIFONDA Bee Fondant – 15kg Solid Block - NEW FOR 2026!

Genuine Südzucker APIFONDA bee fondant, now available in a traditional 15kg solid block. The same trusted APIFONDA formula, without the individually packed 1kg or 2.5kg portions.

If you prefer buying your bee fondant in larger blocks, this is for you. Just like a baker's fondant solid block, except this is a 15kg block of purpose made specialised bee feed.

APIFONDA is a premium, ready-to-use sugar fondant manufactured by Südzucker specifically for feeding honey bees. This 15kg format provides one continuous block of fondant, packed in a cardboard carton with a protective film liner.

It's the familiar format many beekeepers prefer when buying baker's fondant, but with the reassurance of using a specialist bee feed from one of Europe's leading sugar manufacturers.

Simply cut off the amount you need for each colony, making it a practical and economical option for beekeepers managing anything from a handful of hives to large commercial apiaries.

Why choose APIFONDA 15kg blocks?

• Genuine Südzucker APIFONDA – specially manufactured for feeding honey bees.

• One solid 15kg block – not individually portioned into smaller packets.

• Ideal for cutting to size – divide the block into portions to suit your colonies.

• Made from beet sugar – primarily sucrose, with a fine crystalline structure.

• Ready to use – no mixing, dissolving or preparation required.

• Suitable for seasonal supplementary feeding – particularly during spring, early winter and gaps in nectar availability.

• Excellent for bulk buying – available by the carton, quarter pallet, half pallet or full pallet.

The same APIFONDA, just a different format

Already using our APIFONDA 1kg or 2.5kg packs?

This is the same Südzucker bee fondant, simply supplied as one larger 15kg block.

Rather than paying for the convenience of individual portions, you can cut and portion the fondant yourself as required.

It's particularly suited to beekeepers who already use traditional blocks of baker's fondant and would like to move to a purpose-made bee feeding product.

What makes APIFONDA different?

APIFONDA is manufactured using predominantly sucrose derived from sugar beet.

Its structure consists of exceptionally fine sugar crystals, each surrounded by a thin layer of dissolved sugar syrup. This helps prevent the crystals from binding together and forming a hard crust, allowing bees to take up the feed readily.

Unlike general-purpose baker's fondant, APIFONDA is specifically produced and marketed as a feed for honey bees.

When can APIFONDA be used?

APIFONDA is suitable for several supplementary feeding situations:

• Spring feeding: Providing additional carbohydrate feed when natural food supplies are limited.

• Early winter feeding: Supplementing colonies where additional food is required.

• Periods of nectar shortage: Supporting colonies during gaps in natural forage.

• Nucleus colonies: Providing supplementary feed to newly established colonies when appropriate.

Always assess colony stores and feeding requirements before use. Avoid feeding production colonies while collecting honey intended for harvest, to prevent sugar feed contaminating the crop.

How to use the 15kg block

1. Open the carton and carefully peel back the protective liner.

2. Cut off the quantity of fondant required using a clean implement.

3. Place the portion above the bees, with suitable access, or in an appropriate hive feeder.

4. Keep the remaining fondant protected in its liner and carton to prevent drying and contamination.

Buying in bulk? Our quarter, half and full pallet options offer progressively better value per kilogram, ideal for larger apiaries, beekeeping associations and commercial bee farmers.
