White sugar, EEC grade 2, in a 25 kg sack: 99.70 % minimum polarisation, under 0.06 % moisture and 0.50 mm grain. Raw material for syrup — 1:1 to stimulate, 2:1 for stores — and for candy. A colony uses 5 to 15 kg a season, so a 25 kg sack covers 2-5 colonies.

COLONIES PER SACK

White sugar, EEC grade 2, in a 25 kg sack: the raw material syrup is made from, with the specification on show.

Evenly granulated crystal from beet or cane, 99.70 % minimum polarisation and under 0.06 % moisture. It is not a finished feed: it is the ingredient.

01 · WHY QUALITY MATTERS

Whatever is not sucrose is paid for by the bee's gut

In a sugar for bees the deciding figure is not sweetness, it is what is not sucrose. Ash and colour measure exactly that: the molasses residues and minerals a bee cannot digest, which through winter load her gut just when she can least afford it. The EEC grade 2 specification caps ash below 15 P.E. and colour in solution below 6 P.E., and limits SO₂ to 10 mg/kg. That is why any brown or second-grade sugar will not do: the darker it is, the more residue it carries.

02 · THE TWO RATIOS

1:1 to stimulate, 2:1 for stores

It is made up at two concentrations depending on what you want. A 1:1 — one kilo of sugar per litre of warm water — is the light stimulation syrup: the density a colony reads as nectar coming in, in small frequent doses. A 2:1 — two kilos per litre — is the thick maintenance syrup, in large spaced doses so they store it before winter. Warm the water only enough to dissolve: boiling or reheating repeatedly does not improve the syrup and raises HMF.

03 · HOW MUCH YOU NEED

Between 5 and 15 kg per colony per season

Consumption depends on the region, colony strength and whether you are stimulating or wintering: the usual range is 5 to 15 kg of sugar per colony per season, and long winters or short flows push you to the top of it. On that basis a 25 kg sack covers 2-5 colonies. And a rule that does not depend on format: do not feed during a flow if you are going to harvest that honey for sale.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

The 25 kg sack is the normal turnover format: it covers two to five colonies for a season depending on the region, and it does not leave you storing open raw material for months. If you get through volume, the 800 kg pallet is 32 sacks and works out differently per kilo.

✓ FITS	Making up 1:1 or 2:1 syrup, candy and your own pastes from a known specification.
⚠ KEEP IT DRY	Closed, off the floor and away from damp walls: moisture cakes it.
