Details of Water feeder for bottles

The simplest, cheapest way to give syrup without opening the hive: screw a standard screw-top bottle of syrup onto it, slot the tongue into the entrance and the bees drink from inside. Plastic, minimal cost and handling —for a one-off boost to a nuc or a colony.

⚙️ How it works (and how to stop it leaking)

Fill a standard screw-top bottle (neck ~3 cm) with syrup, screw it upside down into the cup and slide the channel into the entrance. Two things so it doesn't spill: a bottle with a compatible thread and setting it perfectly level on a flat base —if the stand is tilted or the floor isn't smooth, syrup runs out the sides—. Get those right and you feed without opening the hive.

💡 What it's for (and what it isn't)

It's the cheapest option for a one-off feed to a nuc or colony, without lifting the lid. As it's open feeding at the entrance, it works best in small amounts at dusk, and keep an eye on robbing. For large volumes, wintering or an uneven stand, a frame or top feeder performs better and won't leak.
