Beekeeping syrup for feeding
Often incorrectly called bee invert by beekeepers, this is a ready-made liquid bee food. It’s a mixture of glucose, fructose, and other sugars in appropriate proportions, making it similar to honey, providing an easily digestible and completely safe food for working insects. The syrup is produced by hydrolyzing wheat starch. Using this type of bee food is very simple – it can be fed to the insects immediately after opening the container. It doesn’t need to be dissolved, mixed, or heated, which saves the beekeeper a lot of work.

Benefits of Holger Food sugar syrup for bees
The composition of Holger Food bee syrup was developed in collaboration with the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique in Paris, the leading agricultural research center in Europe, which has been studying insects, including honeybees and bumblebees, for many years. As a result, our bee syrup offers numerous benefits:
Appropriate fructose and glucose ratio – thanks to the appropriate content of these simple sugars, the syrup is characterized by a low susceptibility to crystallization during the bees’ wintering period.
High fructose to maltose content – the higher content of this simple sugar compared to reducing sugar significantly improves bees’ wintering conditions in Polish climatic conditions.
Low total complex sugars – the significant predominance of simple sugars over complex sugars in the syrup’s composition contributes to an improved energy balance for working honeybees.
Sugar syrup for bees is an extremely important supplement to the insects’ diet, especially when natural food sources are limited or unavailable. It’s worth using it during crop failures, droughts, or colder periods of the year when bees can’t obtain nectar and pollen in their immediate surroundings.
Why is it worth using bee feed syrup instead of regular sugar?
A tempting choice for many beekeepers is using regular sugar, which is cheaper than bee feed syrup and available in almost every store. However, it’s important to remember that such sugar can be contaminated with substances that, while not harmful to human health, can be harmful to bees. Holger Food bee feed syrup is laboratory tested, so you can be sure it won’t pose a risk of poisoning to your bee colony.
Our bee feed syrup, like other bee feeds offered at Holger Food, such as bee cake or invert sugar, is of the highest quality, free from artificial substances and chemical additives. It doesn’t crystallize, making its uptake by the insects easy and highly efficient, translating into a rapid improvement in the health and energy of the insects.

When should you feed bees with beeswax?
When should you feed bees with beeswax? This is one of the most frequently asked questions by beginner beekeepers. The decision on when the insects will receive food rests with the apiary manager, but these are usually at two times a year. The first is spring. In addition to the syrup, bee cake is often fed at this time. The second time is usually before winter, as this is a crucial period for the next season. Providing an adequate amount of good-quality food will ensure a safe winter for the insects. This will ensure they are not only healthy but also productive in the spring and summer of the following year.
The syrup is GMO-free and was packaged under Veterinary Supervision No.: PL3021242p.
If you need to supplement food, syrup is the best form. Bee syrup can be easily dispensed into feeders without exposing the product to external contaminants that may be hazardous to the health of our insects. When feeding bees with sugar syrup or bee cake, special care and hygiene should be exercised to avoid exposing the apiary to infections caused by bacteria or fungi.
