Turns your own sugar into inverted syrup: buy the sugar wherever you like and make it up fresh the day you need it.
When you arrive at the apiary in spring and see that the queen needs a boost to kickstart egg-laying, you know that supplementary feeding makes the difference. Or in autumn, when it’s time to prepare the hives for winter, the quality of the syrup you provide can decide whether they enter the cold season strong and with stable reserves. At those moments, having INVERTOFIX at hand gives you peace of mind.
01 · WHY INVERT THE SUGAR
Many beekeepers still prepare homemade sugar syrups without knowing that this has two main problems:
• Common sugar (sucrose) is a double molecule that bees cannot use directly. To benefit from it, they must break it down with an enzyme of their own, which means extra effort and unnecessary energy consumption.• Sugar syrup that has not been inverted tends to crystallise in the combs during cold weather, because sucrose recrystallises into solid form. In winter this can leave food hardened inside the frames, inaccessible to the hive. In addition, if stored for long periods, it can ferment and spoil.
02 · WHAT INVERTOFIX DOES
With INVERTOFIX you avoid all these issues. This product transforms sugar into an inverted syrup, i.e. glucose and fructose – simple sugars that bees can absorb immediately. Unlike corn syrups (HFCS), which contain more complex and less digestible sugars, inverted syrup with INVERTOFIX is composed only of glucose and fructose, which bees take up instantly.
03 · HOW TO MAKE IT UP
How to use it? Add 5 ml of INVERTOFIX for every kilo of sugar with the included measuring cup. The product breaks down sucrose and prevents crystallisation, fermentation and wasted energy in the hive. You can prepare syrup whenever you need it and always feed it fresh.
• For spring stimulation: 1:1 syrup at room temperature, add INVERTOFIX and wait 8–12 hours before feeding.• For winter reserves: thicker 3:2 syrup, prepared with warm water (max. 45 °C), add INVERTOFIX and let it act 16–24 hours.
04 · WHAT YOU GAIN
• You choose the sugar quality and price that suits you.• Prepare fresh inverted syrup on demand, without long storage times.• You can store sugar (takes up less space and does not spoil), instead of large drums of ready-made syrup.• More economical than commercial inverted syrups.
| ✓ FITS | If you buy sugar in bulk and would rather make the syrup yourself, in the amount and at the moment you choose. |
| ⚠ NOT THE FEED ITSELF | INVERTOFIX inverts the sugar; the sugar and water are yours to add, and it needs time to act before you feed. |
