If one thought this through it would be obvious why fondant is less stress on the bees than granulated sugar. It will take less water for them to be able to suck it up. I know water is available as condensation in the hive, but it is too cold and risky for them to venture out for water. I try to do what is best for my bees not best or more convenient for me
