A polystyrene top feeder, made to sit on Quarti® 6-frame nucs of the same material.
It rests above, in the roof space, so you feed without opening the nest or taking a frame away from a colony that needs every bit of room it has.
01 · FEEDING
With the bell in place, the bees come up underneath it and drink from the edge without falling into the liquid: that is the mode for syrup, which is where badly fed colonies drown. Take the bell out and the same tray is left open for solid feed — fondant or patty — laid straight on top. One accessory for both cases, with nothing else about the nuc to change.
02 · USE
A 6-frame nuc has little reserve and few bees: any gap in the flow, a recent split or a thin run into autumn shows up sooner than in a full colony. Feeding from above lets you read the level at a glance and top up without smoke or dismantling, which on small nucs is half an inspection saved. What you should not do is feed with a super on during the flow: the syrup ends up where it should not.
