The Boardman Entrance Feeder is a classic, user-friendly option for those who prefer a simple and efficient feeding solution. This design lets you attach your Mason jar or a 5 lb. round jar directly at the hive entrance. It's an excellent choice for monitoring food levels and for ease of refill without disturbing the bees.
*Note: This feeder isn't recommended for cold weather or flow hives, as the position can make the feed susceptible to freezing, and it does not integrate well with the flow hive system.
The Pro Feeder is a durable and sophisticated choice. It has a solid cap system and internal supports and's built to last. The revolutionary cap & ladder system minimizes bee drowning by confining them to the feeding area. This feeder also boasts an easy-to-clean design, preventing the queen from laying brood inside and reducing burr comb buildup. The textured interior wall offers a feeding surface for bees if you choose not to use the cap system.
The Internal Sugar Brick & Patty Tray is the perfect multipurpose bee feeder designed to prevent the woes of small hive beetles from infiltrating your bee feed. It provides ample space for sugar bricks or pollen patties and allows bees to feed from all angles while deterring pests.
This versatile tray can be placed between hive boxes or on top of the hive, depending on your colony's strength and the type of feed you're providing. While suitable for winter feeding, it's essential to monitor for excess burr comb during warmer seasons.
The Top Feeder 10 Frame with Shallow Super is your go-to for beekeepers looking for a high-capacity feeding solution. This feeder comes assembled, ready to use, and equipped with a galvanized steel safety screen that prevents bees from drowning. The sturdy plastic construction is built to last without leaks. With a capacity of up to 4 gallons, you can also reduce the frequency of refills.
As a new beekeeper, your choice of feeder will depend on factors such as the climate, the season, and the size of your colony. While the Boardman Entrance Feeder is perfect for easy access and quick replenishing, the Pro Feeder offers long-term durability and an anti-drowning design. |
For those battling pests or needing a high-capacity solution, the Internal Sugar Brick & Patty Tray and the Top Feeder 10 Frame are both excellent choices. They provide versatility and convenience, allowing your bees to feed without obstruction or threat from common hive invaders.
In choosing your feeder, consider your hives' needs, your management style, and the local environment. Bee feeders not only contribute to the health of your colony but also to the joy and success of your beekeeping journey.
