Details of Plastic feeding bag (pack 50)

Pack of 50 food-grade plastic bags 20 × 50 cm to hold your own syrup, homemade fondant or protein patty and place it directly on top of the hive frames. No need to puncture them: the bees pierce the plastic themselves to reach the feed. For beekeepers who prepare their own feed with sugar, vitamins, amino acids or harvested pollen — the practical container that avoids spillage, cross-contamination and feeder maintenance.

🛠️ The container that replaces the feeder

In traditional bee feeding, food is served in trays, Doolittle feeders or bucket feeders — all of which need an extra container, take up space in the hive, must be cleaned between uses and drag residue from the previous season. These bags solve the problem: fill, seal, place on the frames and the bees do the rest. No feeder, no container to clean, no cross-contamination between hives (one bag per hive, then discarded). If you prepare 1:1 syrup (spring) or 2:1 (overwintering) with your own sugar, homemade fondant with vitamins or protein patty with harvested pollen, this is the ultimate container.

🍯 How to use them step by step

1) Fill: add 0.5-1 kg of syrup or patty into the bag. For liquid syrup, leave at least 20 % of air inside so the bee can generate the suction pressure she needs. 2) Seal: tie the top with a simple knot or plastic clip. 3) Place: directly on the top bars of the frames, where the bees are clustered. The bees pierce the plastic themselves within a few hours. 4) Remove: when the bag is empty or after 4-6 weeks. One bag per hive per application.

⚠️ Watch the temperature with liquid feeding

If you fill the bags with liquid syrup, watch the outside temperature. The Pajuelo nutrition guide warns explicitly: at first or last light of cold days, bees can fall into the liquid feed and die from drowning as they get cold. Recommendation: use these bags with syrup in early autumn (before night frost) or in spring mid-afternoon. For closed overwintering (outside temperature <10 °C) fill the bags with fondant paste, not syrup — or simply use ready-to-use Apipasta.

📐 Compatibility with hive types

The 20 × 50 cm dimensions fit perfectly on top of the frames of Layens, Langstroth, Dadant and Dadant Blatt hives without blocking bee circulation. In Layens, note that the lack of opening between frames and crown board ventilation can dry out paste at low temperatures — in those cases seal more tightly and check more often. The plastic is food-grade safe, with no migration to honey or wax.
