No, the fondant is in 12.5kg blocks. I slice the in half lengthwise and
place the cut side down on the excluder at right angles to the frames. That
way, if the bees move to one side of the box they will still have fondant
above them (assuming that they do not take the whole lot down and put it in
the combs) - so no isolation starvation.
