InvertasePlus™ enzyme.
Stronger hives. Smarter feeding.
InvertasePlus™ supports bees during sucrose-based feeding, improving nutrient utilization and overall resilience without affecting natural honey production. The result: well-supported hives, stable colonies, and efficient use of supplemental feed.
Backed by 40+ years of expertise in zinc nutrition and bee health.
Invertase enzyme (β-Fructofuranosidase); A natural enzyme in bees that breaks down nectar sugars (sucrose) into simple sugars (glucose and fructose), essential for honey production.
Invertase enzyme and bees.
The role of invertase in bees
Bees produce invertase in their salivary glands and digestive tract. This enzyme breaks down sucrose in nectar into glucose and fructose, sugars that bees can easily absorb and use for energy.
Transforming nectar into honey
As worker bees share and regurgitate nectar inside the hive, invertase helps convert it into simpler sugars. This process turns nectar into honey and ensures it becomes the hive’s primary food source.
Benefits for honey stability
Invertase also prevents honey from crystallizing, giving it long-term stability and storage quality. It is a vital enzyme that supports bee health, sustenance, and productivity.
By supplementing bees with InvertasePlus™, we support their ability to process sucrose-based feeds, helping colonies maintain energy balance and resilience during nutritional stress.
🍯 InvertasePlus™
Better feeding, stronger hives.
InvertasePlus™ is a precision enzyme supplement designed to assist bees in processing sucrose-based feeds. By providing external invertase, it helps bees convert supplemental sugar more easily, supporting energy balance and reducing metabolic effort—especially during periods of low forage or high demand.
Why it works:
Improves sucrose utilization: easier digestion and faster uptake of supplemental feed
Reduces metabolic strain: supporting calmer, more resilient colonies
Supports hive energy balance: helping maintain brood rearing and colony strength
Enhances feed efficiency: ensuring more complete and stable use of sugar solutions
How it’s used:
Mix with sugar and water. Ideal during times of limited forage, increased nutritional demand, or preparation for winter stores. Bees consume it readily, helping colonies use supplemental feed more efficiently and supporting overall hive performance.

Deep dive into Invertase
How invertase works inside the hive
Bees naturally produce an enzyme called invertase, which plays a central role in turning nectar into honey. Invertase breaks down sucrose, the main sugar in nectar, into glucose and fructose, simple sugars bees can easily absorb.
The role in honey making
As nectar ripens inside the hive, worker bees repeatedly ingest and regurgitate it. In this process, invertase converts sucrose into simpler sugars, stabilizing the nectar and transforming it into honey. This makes honey easier for bees to use as energy and improves its preservation and stability.
Supporting bee metabolism
When colonies are fed sucrose-based supplements, added invertase can help reduce the metabolic effort required to break down these sugars, supporting overall colony condition during high nutritional demand.
A marker of quality
Invertase activity is widely recognized as a natural marker of honey quality and authenticity. High activity indicates fresher honey with minimal processing, while lower levels may suggest heating or adulteration.
Why InvertasePlus™
By supporting bees during artificial feeding, InvertasePlus™ helps ease sucrose processing, reduce metabolic strain, and promote stronger hives without altering natural nectar-to-honey conversion.
