It can be used as an autumn feed but is mainly used to top up over winter, when it is too cold to feed syrup, or in late winter when bees are running out of stores.
Because it is placed directly over the cluster, the bees do not have to leave the cluster to access food, minimising the chance of starvation.
Fondant is easy to handle and store and doesn’t cause robbing like syrup can.
