Apimix (1kg x 10) – Ready-to-Use Liquid Feed for Energy and Vitality
Apimix is Zukan’s premium ready-to-use liquid feed, formulated to deliver fast, clean energy directly to your bees when they need it most. Sold here as a convenient 10 x 1kg pack, Apimix is ideal for both hobbyists and commercial beekeepers looking for precise, manageable feeding with minimal waste.
Developed in collaboration with university research partners, Apimix is designed for direct consumption, with a carefully balanced blend of glucose and fructose that mirrors natural nectar. Its composition ensures high palatability, easy digestion, and zero fermentation risk—making it a superior alternative to homemade sugar syrup or lower-grade feed products.
What Makes Apimix Different?
Unlike traditional syrup mixes, Apimix is pre-mixed, shelf-stable, and ready to use. It contains no artificial preservatives, and its specific sugar profile prevents crystallisation and microbial growth. Because of its high glucose and fructose content (and low sucrose), bees absorb it quickly without needing to invert or store it—making it an efficient energy source during periods of high stress, poor forage, or colony build-up.
Its 1kg sachets allow easy application and dosage—perfect for quick inspections, targeted feeding, or supporting multiple hives with precise control.
