Details of Ideal Bee Queen queen candy for shipping (200 x 7 g)

During shipping, the candy in the cage compartment is the only source of energy for the queen and her attendant bees. If that paste dries out or crystallises partway, they lose access to food just when they need it most. This fondant is formulated to stay soft and edible throughout the journey, from dispatch to introduction into the new colony.

🍯 Stays soft and won't crystallise in the cage

The balance of invert and non-invert sugars gives it a consistency that resists drying during transport. Unlike a winter fondant, formulated with low moisture, here the point is the opposite: the portion stays accessible for several days so the queen and her attendants can feed effortlessly until the cage reaches its destination.

📐 Individual 7 g portion, ready for the cage

Each portion comes separately wrapped: you remove the wrapper and place it in the cage's feed compartment, with no handling of bulk paste and no carrying residue from one cage to another, which reduces cross-contamination between batches. The 7 g format fits the feed recess of standard shipping cages; on journeys longer than 7 days, add two portions.

💡 Energy for the journey, not a substitute for management

It is an energy feed based on sugars (a complementary feed), meant to cover transport and the start in the receiving colony. It provides no protein and does not guarantee acceptance: it supports the queen, but queenlessness, colony strength and weather still decide the introduction.
