APIINVERT Bag in a Box 16kg Bee Syrup By Südzucker

Bees like it.

Packaging is great, all recyclable. I'm feeding two nucs with it. They seam to like it, taken plenty down and they are developing nicely. I'll certainly buy more. I have emptied the box into drums from previous purchases, easier to carry to the bees.

Good product

As stated by another review, watch that initial pour, I decanted some into 2.5 litre containers to save me carrying the box, made a bit of a mess but the bees love it. I like the fact that im not stuck with yet another big plastic container. Fast service as always and helpful advice

Beware of first spurt.

I thought that holding a 16kg box with one hand and opening the cap with the other whilst aiming the box at one side of a polynuc feeder might be a bit tricky as this was the first box I had tried. So I decided to fill a jug. The cap was quite tricky to open and needed a penknife to prise it apart (a bit easier the second time) When I opened the cap to fill the jug a jet of syrup shot out and landed on the floor of the shed a foot away from the box and missing the jug entirely. Even if I had been putting it directly into the nuc feeder most of it would have missed. I spent half an hour scooping syrup off the shed floor with the flat end of a hive tool - not the most entertaining of activities! Subsequent fills of my jug were fine. I like the idea of the bag in a box rather than adding to my stack of plastic jerry cans but would have appreciated a warning.
