Hive Alive Fondant Patty - Winter Feed
We are so excited to offer Hive Alive fondant patties! Many beekeepers have asked us for a winter feeding patty option, and it doesn't get any better than this. These patties are made with a dosage of Hive Alive feeding supplement and additional vitamins and amino acids. Hive Alive is an internationally acclaimed product that's been proven to do the following:
- Boost colony health and population
- Increase honey production
- Dramatically reduce Nosema spores, a common contributor to winter bee losses
Giving bees a winter sugar feed right above the cluster is vitally important to keeping them alive in the winter months. Don't feed your bees empty calories with plain old ordinary sugar. Help them thrive this winter with Hive Alive Fondant patties, the healthiest, most convenient winter feed available!
We sell this product in individual patties or cases of 15. Remember, all orders over $100 qualify for free shipping!
How much should I use? Great question, but it depends largely on weather conditions and colony strength. At a minimum, plan to feed 1-1.5 patties per month to each hive during the winter and early spring months.

The instructions on the package said to cut a three inch hole in the bag. Turn it face down and lay it in the hive. The bees did not touch it so I took it out of the bag.
It is probably not the fault of Hillco, but after 14 days I have still not received my order. I feel that Hillco is a very good company. My order was shipped in two packages. The smaller package got here in a timely fashion, but apparently UPS lost the larger package. I don’t know why it was lost, so I won’t pass judgement on either company.
Folks were very informative and educational.
Never used before but will use very soon for winter bees.
this is a great product and really helped our bees out last winter so we are doubling our order for this year!
