It comes on a handy key chain to always ensure you always have it with you and is suitable for Honeybees, Bumblebees, solitary bees as well as butterflies.
The elixir itself is a liquid called Invertbee, a mixture of glucose and fructose used to feed beehives over winter. Amazingly, the backing packaging is made with plantable wild seeds that are perfect for bees and other wild pollinators too.
The Invertbee liquid should be replaced yearly to ensure the best quality for the bees and can be purchased separately, or can be refilled at home with 1:2 ratio of granulated sugar to water mix.
