APIVITAL paste – premium sugar feed for spring development and nucleus creation (6× 2.5 kg)

Do you need to support bee colonies in early spring, supplement stores during cold periods, or safely feed newly created nucleus colonies? APIVITAL sugar paste is quality feed designed for situations when liquid solution is difficult to administer or may be risky. Thanks to its fine consistency based on beet sugar, it is easily accessible and quickly processable for bees. The 6× 2.5 kg package is appreciated by beekeepers who want to have certainty of feed reserves at hand even in changeable weather.

Microcrystalline structure that bees readily accept

The advantage of APIVITAL paste is its microcrystalline structure – the feed mass consists of very fine sucrose microcrystals (approx. 0.01 mm) that are embedded in syrup. The syrup prevents crystal agglomeration, so the paste doesn't harden in the hive, remains pliable and bees can easily consume it. In practice, this means smoother feed intake, less waste and reduced stress for the colony during periods when every energy saving matters.

When APIVITAL paste will be most useful to you

The paste is a universal helper for various phases of the season. It provides the greatest benefit especially in these situations:

1) Early spring and spring stimulation: When temperatures are low and bees cannot regularly fly for water, syrup feeding is often inappropriate. The paste contains water in bound form and bees can consume it directly from the top bars even in cooler weather. By providing feed, you also simulate food influx, thereby supporting development and smoother egg laying.

2) Nucleus feeding and queen work: When creating nucleus colonies, paste is practical and safe – it usually provokes less robbing than liquid feeding. It's also suitable for filling introduction cages when introducing or replacing queens.

3) Dearth periods: When nectar flow suddenly stops, paste can serve as a quick "safety net" for maintaining colony condition and smooth hive operation.

Clean and simple hive application

APIVITAL paste doesn't flow at hive temperature, so it's comfortable and clean to work with. You don't need to worry about feed dripping onto brood or unnecessarily contaminating the hive interior. Application is easy: divide the paste as needed (by cutting off part of the block or cutting the foil) and place on top bars under the cover. No cooking, no mixing, no extra work.
