I follow what happens at the Coweta Beekeeping Association in Georgia. They often have useful ideas for beekeepers. Google their group and subscribe to their free newsletter if you are interested.
This is a recipe for winter fondant from Dan Scales. We have never used fondant, but the concept makes sense to me. I am posting this in early February and Dan reports he is using fondant along with feeding light (half and half) syrup. The ingredients are sugar, pollen substitute, Karo syrup or honey and lemon juice. I put the recipe onto a one page pdf so you can easily print it.
Hope this helps. Joe
