Winter Carb Fondant w/ Protein

$3.50 per pound. Sold by the pound in pre-packaged slabs of varying weights. Consider 1 to 3 lbs per hive. This is basically a sugar pattie with some nutrition added. Provide your colonies with food stores when the bees find the cupboards bare. Pro Winter Patties provide carbohydrates and only a very small amount of protein, so your bees won't be encouraged to start rearing brood too early. As warmer weather approaches switch to a pollen substitute patty such as Ultra Bee or Bee Pro^® Patties which will provide both carbohydrates and protein for brood rearing.
