HiveAlive Fondant Patty

My bees love the fondant will be purchasing this again!

Started feeding my bees hive alive when it first came out with the additive for the syrup three years ago in the US via Mannlake. I noticed a boost in puny hives that needed a boost got stronger. From that point kept track and continue to research hivealive as they continue to grow and turn out amazing products for Beekeeping. I now purchase their patties, syrup and fondant no longer make my syrup without HiveAlive. I no longer make fondant as they do a very good job with their products. As my time is precious and if I don’t have to make fondant and can’t make it as well as they can, I prefer to buy theirs. I’ve noticed my bees over winter better. They’re stronger in the spring and I don’t see signs of nosema and they’re more resilient to mites. I still add Fumiidil B (fumagillin)to prevent nosema and treat for mites, of course We’re in the Pacific Northwest where we have a variety of weather patterns and they seem to come out of winter much stronger using hivealive products. This year I saw they have shims, so I purchased the shims along with the syrup. The only thing I would say about the shim is the robber space -you have to tape it up to use it in the fall and winter other than that it’s been nice and handy to get the syrup and the shims, and put them on hives.
I have my own shims, but they’re a little too deep and the bees will fill them in with wax and it’s one more space in the winter that they have to heat so the Sims are perfect for feeding with. I would highly recommend the product to all beekeepers new inexperienced do your own research. I think you’ll find high alive stands with the best of all of them if not the best for bees health.

I heard about this product from a beekeeper in Donegal a few years ago when I was visiting. I had bee using fondant every winter and the survival was hit or miss.
Last year I placed the patties on the hive as soon as the weather turned too cold to feed any liquid. The bees loved it and they all stayed very healthy through the cold Pennsylvania winter. I am prepared to top off the hives in another week or two.

Hive Alive fondant is a must to maintain healthy hives over winter. The bees love it and come out of winter healthy, and ready to rear a productive new colony for spring. This product ships very quickly. I will always return!

I ordered the fondant 6 kg package. When it arrived, it looked like it was run over by a Mack truck! The package was crushed and looks like it has been re-wrapped by a three year old with a roll of tape. It contains only two packages of 1 kg each instead of six. I notified hive alive. They took my information and within a couple days I had another box delivered. I love that a company gives its customers this much attention and I tried the product on my bees. They love it. I will order from them again many times. Thanks.
