Pro Winter Feed Pro Winter Feed is a soft sugar paste—similar to cookie dough—that works like fondant or a sugar brick for fall and winter feeding. It’s easy to scoop, shape, and p lace inside the hive, giving colonies extra insurance against starvation when natural stores are low. Key Features and Benefits Soft sugar paste: Cookie-dough consistency makes it easy to scoop, shape, and spread. Fall & winter feeding: Ideal when hives are light on stores or need emergency backup food. Brood-safe formulation: Very low protein content prevents early brood rearing. Easy placement: Press directly onto top bars under an 8-frame or 10-frame inner cover—no parchment or wax paper needed. Fondant alternative: Works like fondant or sugar bricks but is easier to apply. Detailed Description Pro Winter Feed provides carbohydrate-rich nutrition when bees need it most. The soft, pliable texture makes it versatile and simple to use—just scoop out a portion, form a patty, and press it onto the top bars beneath the inner cover. It can be used throughout fall and winter, whether as a precaution or when colonies are noticeably light on stored honey. Because the formula contains only a very small amount of protein, it supports the colony without stimulating premature brood production—a critical factor during cold months. From the Manufacturer:Bulk Pro Winter Patties provide food stores when colonies find the cupboards bare. They offer carbohydrates with minimal protein to avoid early brood rearing, making them ideal for cold-weather feeding.
