I have been making my own fondant as i am unable to find it cheep in bulk. My association sells it at £31 for a 12.5 KG box.
My question is, i have at the moment been feeding in the brood box. I have removed a frame in each hive, and placed a block of fondant in the space. The cluster is at the moment on the other side of the frame next to the fondant.
Would it be better if i was to feed above the crown board? If i do, would i need to fill the gap that is created by putting fondant under the roof above the crown board?
