Plastic round feeder. 500ml (around 1kg of syrup) Rapid feeder ideal for nuc hives. 175mm diameter, 45mm deep. It is placed under the lid, just on the crown board hole, so the bees come up from that hole and can walk down the ridged surface of the cone to the height of the sugar syrup without risk of drowning.
1 kg CAPACITY | 170 mm DIAMETER |
45 mm HEIGHT | 300 g EMPTY WEIGHT |
A 1 kg round feeder that sits on the crown board, with an inverted cup and a clear lid.
An open container inside the hive ends with bees in the syrup. This feeder works on an inverted cup: the feed drops as it is taken, and the bees reach it through an opening flush with the base instead of leaning over a pool.
01 · INSTALLATION
It goes on top of the crown board, centred over its hole. The bees' access sits flush with the base of the feeder, about 2 mm above the surface: they come up through the central hole and drink from the rim, with no open surface to fall into.
02 · HIVE HEALTH
Lid and cup are clear, so you see what is left at a glance without opening the hive or chilling the brood nest. Sitting straight on the crown board also keeps the feed in the warm, right above the cluster, which is where it gets taken quickly.
03 · CLEANING
Syrup crystallises: between uses it pays to scrape the residue out and wash the body and the cup. Storing it with residue inside is what spoils the next use and draws pests in the store room.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
You are buying the feeder with its lid and cup; feed is separate. The device helps you administer syrup cleanly, but how much and when depends on stores, weather and your objective, not on the container.
