Food-grade preservative (E-202) that protects syrup and protein patties from mold and fermentation. It ensures safe and fresh feed for your bees for longer.
How many times have you carefully prepared a syrup or protein patty, only to find that frustrating layer of mold or the smell of fermentation when you go to use it? It's wasted time and money, but above all, it's a risk to our bees. Giving them spoiled feed is the last thing we want, especially when we're trying to build them up for spring or help them through the winter.
That's where this old friend of the most cautious beekeepers comes in: Potassium Sorbate. It's just a food preservative (the well-known E-202), but in the honey house, it becomes a lifeline for our bee feed. Its job is simple but crucial: to inhibit the growth of molds and yeasts, the main culprits that cause feed to spoil.
Using it is very simple, and that's its great advantage. By just adding 2 grams for every kilo of feed you prepare, you ensure it stays in perfect condition for weeks. A little veteran tip: always dissolve it in a bit of water first before mixing it with the rest of the syrup or patty. This ensures it's evenly distributed and protects every single drop of feed.
With this simple step, you can forget your worries. You can prepare feed in large batches knowing it won't go bad, and you have the complete peace of mind that you're giving your bees a safe and healthy nutritional boost. It's the difference between feed that nourishes and feed that could harm the colony.
