Abstract

We suggest a method and a device for inverting sugar solution by using invertase enzyme and using it for feeding bees. The results suggest that when using the device for enzyme hydrolysis of sugars, the process of inverting the polysaccharides is the strongest until the ninth day, regardless of the quantity of honey added. After this period, the enzyme-driven process slows down significantly. The percentage of the monosaccharides triose, D-glucose, and fructose rises in the inversion process after the quantity of natural honey has been increased (from 1,5 kg to 3,0 kg respectively).
