Invert sugar
Invert sugar, what is it? Invert sugar is a mixture (syrup) consisting of equal amounts of simple sugars, namely glucose and fructose (grape sugar and fruit sugar) and water. Most of the sucrose (table sugar) is split up during production so the bees need fewer enzymes to convert the sugar to simple sugars. That's how you help the bees. Invert sugar you give to the bees to get them through the winter.
Invert sugar, as for example from the brand Invertbee, API-invert of BeeBoost is used as a syrup feed for the bee population. So what is invert sugar? A very fine food source of sugar for bees!

How often do I give my bees invert sugar?
How often to supplement the flock with invert sugar depends on several factors. The time of year, the weather, the size of the flock, the availability of natural food sources in the immediate area and the health of the flock all play a role.
If the hive is strong and healthy and sufficient natural nectar and pollen are available, it is usually not necessary to supplement the bees with sugars. If the hive is small or if the weather is very bad, such as during long periods of rain, cold or drought, it may be necessary to temporarily give bees extra energy in the form of invert sugar but preferably not during the winter period. Once the honey has been collected, you can overwinter the bees with Invertbee so they have enough food during the winter period. If they are still short of food during the winter, feed them with suikerdeeg.
What are the benefits of invert sugar?
There are a number of benefits to invert sugar; for example, bees love it. Furthermore, invert sugar also has the following advantages as food for bees:
- Easily Absorbed: Invert sugar, thanks to refined sugar, is a quick and easily absorbable source of energy for bees, helping them to gain and grow quickly and build a food supply for the winter period.
- BAvailability: Invert sugar is preferably given in summer and fall to support the bees when natural nectar and pollen are more scarce. Outside this period, sugar dough is generally offered.
It is important to remember, however, that bees depend on a diversity of food sources. Giving only invert sugar cannot fulfill the full needs of bees for a diverse diet. Also, be sure to provide pollen- en stuifmeelbronnen be around for the bees.
How do I give my bees invert sugar?
You feed Invertbee/sugar water using a voerbakje on the dekplank. This is where the bees crawl in and then they suck up the sugar syrup. The sugar water is a very concentrated solution. Because of this, sugar water helps bees during supplemental feeding or hibernation. Sugar water is also a convenient food for bees to absorb quickly. Prefer another form of bee food?
