Rectangular top feeder 1.7 L (Layens, Langstroth, Dadant)

When it’s time to feed your colonies during a dry spell or after the last honey flow, every detail matters. This rectangular top feeder is designed for efficiency and simplicity, especially for Layens hives and other shallow-lid hive models.

Made of high-quality food-grade polypropylene, it consists of two parts: the main body and a lid that fits tightly by pressure. Thanks to its low-profile design, it sits directly on the frames, right below the hive cover, allowing you to refill it easily by just lifting the roof — no need to disturb the bees or remove supers.

The inside surface is fully textured to improve grip and prevent drowning, while the slotted entrance allows safe access even with dense syrups or low temperatures.

This feeder stands out for its easy cleaning, durability, and versatility — compatible with Layens, Langstroth and Dadant US / Blatt hives, ideal for migratory beekeeping setups where time and space are limited.

Perfect for feeding syrup or stimulants during nectar shortages, it helps maintain strong and productive colonies with minimal effort.
