    Ambrosia costs a fortune.

    Or indeed Apisuc. From a recent circular (passed round local associations):

    Fondant is £4.25 / 2.5kg pack
    Apisuc supplied loose is £1.25 / kg ex Newbridge
    Containers chargeable

    There is a major price rise of 30% on all sugar product come 1/10/10 due to a world shortage so a major saving is to be had

    Bulk orders can be supplied in
    Apisuc 1000kg container
    Apisuc 60 x 14kg jerry cans on a pallet
    Fondant 70 packs (5 x 2.5kg) on a pallet
    Prices on request

    If anybody is interested in buying either product please give me a call

    I bought fondant last month from a local supplier at £10.50 for a 12.5k box.
    You should still be able to get it around this price.

    I was lucky Tesco's had 2k bags of sugar for £1.20 a few weeks ago. I managed to buy 45 (not all in one go) before I felt guilty and I just smiled sweetly and nodded when asked if I was making jam.

    I've done most all feeding now Gavin
    But next time I need to feed I will be better informed.
    I haven't heard of apisuc before.

    You should tell them your real purpose Lindsay. It always rouses interest. *Much* more intriguing than jam making.

    And yes, I'm late getting the feed into many of the colonies in what some might call my 'care'. As it happens the timing is quite good - suddenly there is (some) nectar, and three types of pollen coming in plus a late bout of brood raising.

    I think that's the stuff Murray uses too.

    PS Yes it is. In June he wrote elsewhere that it was 60p a kilo in bulk.
