InvertasePlus™ enzyme.
Pre-converted feed. Smarter sucrose feeding.
InvertasePlus™ is a precision enzyme formulated for sucrose-based bee feeding. When incorporated into sugar syrup, it pre-converts sucrose into glucose and fructose, reducing the need for bees to process sugars themselves and helping conserve energy for normal foraging activity. The formulation is designed to operate under mild conditions, supporting controlled inversion while helping limit the formation of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
Backed by 40+ years of expertise in zinc nutrition and bee health.
Invertase enzyme (β-fructofuranosidase) is the enzyme that splits sucrose into glucose and fructose. Bees naturally produce invertase as part of nectar processing and honey formation. InvertasePlus™ applies that same principle to supplemental feeding by helping pre-process sucrose-based syrup before consumption.
Invertase enzyme and bees.
The role of invertase in bees
Bees naturally produce invertase in their glands and digestive system. This enzyme helps convert sucrose into simpler sugars that can be readily used in metabolism and honey processing.
From nectar processing to feed preparation
Inside the hive, invertase plays a role in transforming nectar during honey formation. In supplemental feeding, the same enzymatic reaction can be applied to sucrose syrup before bees consume it. That means part of the sugar conversion happens in the feed, not only in the bee.
Why that matters
By pre-converting sucrose in syrup, InvertasePlus™ helps make supplemental feed more immediately usable. This supports efficient feed preparation and may reduce the amount of enzymatic processing required from the colony during feeding periods.
🍯 InvertasePlus™
Better feeding starts before the bees drink.
InvertasePlus™ is an enzyme preparation designed for beekeepers using sucrose-based syrup. When added during feed preparation, it hydrolyses sucrose into glucose and fructose, producing a pre-converted syrup that is closer to bees’ natural carbohydrate sources.
Why beekeepers use it:
Enables controlled pre-conversion of sucrose in syrup preparation
Supports efficient utilization of supplemental feed
Helps align sugar composition with bees’ natural digestion process
Suitable for seasonal feeding, colony build-up, or low forage periods
Designed to operate under mild conditions, helping limit the formation of degradation by-products (e.g. HMF) when used as directe
Made in the EU
How it is used:
Dosage: 5 g per 10 kg of sucrose solution (70% w/w)
Mixing: Dissolve thoroughly into prepared sugar syrup
Temperature: Maintain between 25–35°C during enzymatic activity
Time: Allow 18–24 hours for inversion
If temperature is below 25°C, extend reaction time up to 36 hours
Important: Do not exceed 40°C after enzyme addition
For optimal results, avoid excessive heat and prolonged exposure to high temperatures after inversion. Proper process control helps maintain syrup quality and minimizes the formation of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).

Here’s how invertase helps pre-convert sucrose in feed and supports more efficient supplemental feeding.
Deep dive into Invertase
How invertase works
Invertase catalyses the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. In honey bees, this enzyme plays a key role in nectar ripening and honey production. When added to sucrose syrup during feed preparation, invertase applies the same enzymatic process before the syrup is consumed.
Why pre-converted feed matters
When colonies are fed sucrose-based supplements, added invertase initiates the breakdown of sucrose into simpler sugars prior to consumption. This helps reduce the extent of sugar processing bees would otherwise need to perform during feeding.
To be accurate…
InvertasePlus™ does not replace the natural biological processes of the hive. It supports feeding practices by partially converting sucrose in advance, providing a syrup that is already closer in composition to the sugars bees naturally utilize.
