  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 [product id=1352]Invertbee[/product], [product id=4626]API-invert[/product] of [product id=4998]BeeBoost[/product] is used as a syrup feed for the bee population. So what is invert sugar? A very fine food source of sugar for bees!

  Protein for bees

  Bees are hard-working insects that naturally seek food to feed their hive or hive population and store a winter supply in the form of honey. An important part of their diet is [category id=282]proteïne[/category], which they need for the brood nest, to grow larvae. Proteincan be found in the pollen of flowers, among other things. Sufficient protein ensures healthy bees. Too little protein reduces the resistance of bees resulting in a weaker hive. Feeding extra protein with vitamins is therefore important if your hive is weak or the supply of natural protein through pollen is minimal. Supplemental feeding will quickly strengthen a hive.
