Flavoured Ant Jelly — Honey
7,90 zł
All the honey taste, none of the runny honey. This cup carries that classic sweetness in solid form, about 16 g of jelly that keeps its shape for 4-7 days and never smears across the glass or traps a worker. A safe first pick while you’re still learning what your colony likes. Camponotus, Lasius and Messor all take it.

Honey Ant Jelly — carbohydrate feeding cup for ants
Honey is the first flavour most keepers reach for, and this cup delivers it without the runny honey that smears down the glass and glues workers in place. Inside is a single ~16 g serving of soft, honey-flavoured jelly, sugar-based with added flavour, vitamins and humectants to stay moist and easy to feed on. Originally produced as premium beetle jelly, it is fully ant-safe. Made in Europe, shipped sealed from Poland with tracked EU, UK and worldwide delivery.

Why jelly beats honey and sugar water
Real honey is a fine carbohydrate, but it spreads, drips and traps workers, while an open sugar-water dish drowns them. A honey-flavoured jelly cup carries that same sweetness in a solid block the colony can swarm safely. It will not spill if the arena is moved, and you can read at a glance when it needs replacing.
Who it’s for
The classic, broadly accepted flavour, honey is the safe opening move when you do not yet know what your colony prefers. It fits nearly every kept species — Camponotus, Lasius, Formica, Pheidole, tropical ants — and harvester ants such as Messor take it for extra carbohydrate alongside their seed diet.
How to feed it
Peel the foil and set the cup in the outworld or on a feeding dish. Replace it every 3-5 days, sooner once the surface dries and hardens, and pull leftovers before mould and mites set in. Put out several cups for a larger colony. Keep spares sealed at room temperature, and once opened refrigerate and use within a month.
A balanced diet, not carbohydrate alone
Jelly fuels adult workers and foraging but does not raise brood. Larvae need protein, so pair the cup with insect prey or a protein paste.
Pairs well with
Serve it on one of our drinking bowls or plates for a clean lift-out. Add Blanched Whole Crickets or Cricket Jam for protein and keep a water dish nearby for a complete feeding station.
FAQ
Is honey jelly better than feeding actual honey?
It gives the same sweetness without the mess and the drowning risk of runny honey, and it holds its shape in the arena.
How often should I feed jelly?
A fresh cup every 3-5 days. It lasts about 4-7 days in the arena, so change it once the surface dries or hardens.
How do I store it?
Sealed cups keep for months at room temperature. Once opened, refrigerate and use within a month.
Is it really beetle jelly?
It began as premium beetle jelly. The composition is fully ant-safe and works just like a dedicated ant jelly.
Will harvester ants like Messor eat it?
Yes. Messor and other granivores take jelly for extra carbohydrate alongside their seeds, and almost every kept species accepts it too.
Do I still need to feed protein?
Yes. Jelly is carbohydrate only. Offer insects or a protein paste for healthy brood.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. Out of Poland within 24 hours, tracked EU, UK and worldwide.
