Detailed Description

This 8 and 5 Frame Top Feeder is a reliable choice for feeding colonies a large amount of syrup without the mess. Bees access the syrup through a hole at the bottom, where they can feed on a controlled amount of liquid rather than the entire container. This design reduces drowning while keeping food available.

The feeder includes a removable cap over the bee access area, allowing you to manage exposure to syrup and further protect your bees. It can be placed on top of either an 8-frame or 5-frame inner cover, or directly over hive frames. To use, a rim or box is needed to enclose the feeder securely.

With its over 1-gallon capacity and compact dimensions (15"L x 5.5"W x 4.375"H), this feeder provides efficiency and safety in feeding, especially when colonies need extra support.
