Key Features and Benefits

• Pure sucrose: Plain white granulated sugar suitable for bees and baking

• 50 lb bags: Easy to move, store, and measure

• Bulk availability: Available by the bag, pallet, or truck

Feeding Sugar Syrup to Honey Bees

Beekeepers use white granulated sugar because it is easy for bees to digest and does not contain minerals that can be harmful to colonies.

Sugar feeding supports:

• Brood rearing in spring

• Colony growth and comb building

• Survival during nectar dearths

• Maintaining honey stores before winter

Common syrup ratios:

• 1:1 (one part sugar to one part water): Spring feeding

• 2:1 (two parts sugar to one part water): Fall feeding

Yield per 50 lb bag:

• Approximately 14 gallons of 1:1 syrup

• Approximately 11 gallons of 2:1 syrup

Sugar syrup can be fed using jar feeders, top feeders, inner cover feeders, or other standard hive feeding methods.

Bulk Sugar for Beekeepers

This sugar is available:

• By the 50 lb bag

• By the pallet for larger operations

• By the truck (market rates apply; direct delivery available)

Buying in bulk ensures supply during peak feeding seasons and provides consistency for large apiaries.

Detailed Description

This is the same clean, white granulated sugar commonly available from bulk grocery suppliers such as warehouse clubs or restaurant supply stores — packaged in 50 lb bags for convenience and priced competitively for beekeepers.

The sugar may be derived from either beet sugar (most common in the U.S.) or cane sugar. Both are pure sucrose and suitable for feeding bees.

Store in a cool, dry location and keep sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
