Description

Apipasta is a high-quality, ready-to-use bee feed developed by Zukan—a leading name in nutritional solutions for the beekeeping industry. Designed specifically for honeybee consumption, Apipasta offers a clean, efficient alternative to traditional fondants. Its advanced formulation has been developed in close collaboration with academic research groups, ensuring a product that supports colony health, optimises energy intake, and integrates seamlessly into professional beekeeping routines.

Apipasta is a sucrose-based paste feed formulated with micro-crystals, each coated in glucose syrup. This makes it highly attractive and digestible to bees. Unlike regular fondants—often crude sugar blocks that require dilution or mixing—Apipasta is soft, immediately consumable, and designed to be ingested directly by the colony. Because bees consume it fully and do not store it in combs, it eliminates the risk of sugar residue contaminating honey stores.

Key Benefits

  • Requires no preparation—ready to use straight from the pack

  • Highly digestible and quickly assimilated by bees

  • Bees consume it completely—leaving no residue or risk of contamination

  • Free from HMF, a potentially harmful sugar byproduct

  • Can be tailored with added vitamins or protein as needed

  • Ideal for migratory and intensive beekeeping practices

Backed by Research

Zukan works in partnership with university research institutions in Spain to ensure Apipasta is scientifically validated. This collaboration ensures the product is both nutritionally sound and practically effective for maintaining colony vitality throughout the year.

Apipasta represents a modern, research-backed solution for year-round hive feeding. A professional-grade feed that simplifies management and supports stronger, healthier colonies.
