Details of Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)

Pure ascorbic acid to add to the feed you make up: 2 grams per 100 kg of syrup or paste.

An airtight 100 g tub which, at that rate, covers five tonnes of made-up feed.

01 · WHAT IT IS FOR

An antioxidant for the feed, not for the bee

Ascorbic acid — vitamin C — is an antioxidant. In a home-made syrup or protein paste its role is keeping quality: it acidifies the feed slightly and helps it hold up before the colony gets through it, with fewer unwanted fermentations. It earns its place when you make feed ahead of time, or when you work with protein pastes, which are the ones that keep worst.

02 · HOW TO DOSE IT

Two grams per hundred kilos

Add 2 g per 100 kg of made-up feed, dissolved in the syrup or worked into the paste until evenly spread. It is a small dose, so weigh it rather than judge it by eye. Close the tub properly after each use: vitamin C degrades with air, light and moisture, and a badly closed tub loses activity while still looking like the same powder.

03 · BEFORE YOU BUY

At 2 grams per 100 kilos, the 100 g tub covers five tonnes: on almost any outfit that is several seasons' worth. What decides the purchase, then, is not the amount but the storage: tightly closed, dry and dark.

✓ FITS	If you make your own syrup or protein patties and want them to keep better.
⚠ NOT A FEED	It brings no energy and no protein: it is an antioxidant for the feed, not a ration for the hive.
