Can you share with us all the source of these statisticsUtter tosh I’ve placed bakers fondant on literally hundreds of hives also helping a number of bee farmer friends. Funny how they or me have consistently lower losses than the National average.
No one could compete on the basis of comparing a robin reliant to a car with four wheels.
One healthy hive has a value of around £250 and you want to save £2.00 on a dubious, unregulated feed, No wonder we have so many winter losses.
What statistics! Pls refer me to any I’ve quoted. On the off chance you mean the reference to winter losses, that survey is available on the NBU site and normally published by the bbka in bee craft. Do you have a copyWhat I clearly said was based on personal experiences and that of some larger beekeepers. We have 1 of the largest here who’s given his own personal experience that there’s not an issue. It’s no different than a 2 log hive owner coming on here and suggesting he’s found a cure for varroa. I’d laugh! If a respected beekeeper with 5k hives turns round and tells me he’s found a cure, I’d be interested! There is nothing to back up your claims of fondant causing losses and there at present is no correlation to the use of bakers fondant over bee feeds!Can you share with us all the source of these statistics
