Candy Board Super for Winter Feeding

Candy Board Super for Winter Feeding

Help your bees survive winter with confidence. This Candy Board Super is designed to provide emergency nutrition during cold months while also improving hive conditions when bees need it most.

Unlike liquid feeding, the hardened sugar candy is safe for winter use—no spills, no chilling, no moisture issues. The candy serves a dual purpose: it feeds your colony and helps absorb excess moisture inside the hive, reducing condensation that can be deadly during winter.
