HONESTBEE, your trusted wholesale partner for comprehensive beekeeping tools and equipment, is pleased to present our durable and highly functional Entrance Bee Feeder. Designed with the needs of commercial beekeepers and bee equipment distributors in mind, this feeder offers a practical and efficient solution for providing essential liquids to bee colonies.
Product Description
The HONESTBEE Entrance Bee Feeder is an intelligently designed tool for delivering sugar syrup or water directly at the hive entrance. This method minimizes hive disturbance and allows for easy monitoring of consumption.
Design and Construction
The feeder features a distinctive "T-shape" or "paddle-like" profile.
- Bottle Connector: The head of the "T" incorporates a cylindrical socket designed to securely hold a standard plastic water or soda bottle (inverted). The internal diameter is precisely engineered to create a snug fit with common bottle neck threads, ensuring stability and preventing leaks. The connector features subtle internal ribbing or prongs that help grip the bottle neck.
- Feeding Trough & Platform: Extending from the bottle connector is a narrow, channeled trough that serves as the access point for bees to drink. This trough widens into a semi-circular base platform. This platform not only provides stability when the feeder is placed at the hive entrance but also serves as a convenient landing and congregation area for bees.
- Material: Manufactured from high-quality, robust white plastic, the feeder is designed for longevity and repeated use. The smooth surface facilitates easy cleaning and sanitization. Its professional white finish ensures it looks clean and appropriate for apiary use.
Dimensions
As illustrated in the provided images:
- Overall Length: 15.5 cm
- Base Width (Semi-circular platform): 8 cm
- Bottle Connector Inner Diameter: 2.7 cm (compatible with most standard PET soda/water bottle necks)
Key Features and Advantages
- Professional Appearance: The clean, white, and uniform design presents a professional image, appealing to discerning beekeepers and reflecting well on distributors' product lines.
- Durability: Constructed from sturdy plastic, this feeder is built to withstand regular use in various weather conditions. It resists warping and cracking, ensuring a long service life.
- Functional Efficiency:
- Easy to Use: Simply fill a standard plastic bottle with syrup or water, screw it onto the feeder, and place it at the hive entrance.
- Minimized Hive Disturbance: Feeding at the entrance eliminates the need to open the hive, reducing stress on the colony and saving the beekeeper time.
- Easy Monitoring: When used with a clear plastic bottle, the liquid level is easily visible, allowing for quick checks on consumption rates.
- Hygienic: The smooth plastic surface is easy to clean and sanitize between uses, helping to prevent the spread of disease.
- Versatile Compatibility: Fits most standard plastic soda or water bottles, allowing beekeepers to recycle and repurpose commonly available items.
Application and Usage Scenarios
The HONESTBEE Entrance Bee Feeder is ideal for:
- Stimulative Feeding: Providing light sugar syrup in early spring to encourage brood rearing and colony buildup.
- Supplemental Feeding: Offering heavier syrup during nectar dearths or in late autumn to help colonies build winter stores.
- Watering: Supplying a consistent water source, especially crucial during hot weather or when natural sources are scarce.
- Emergency Feeding: Quickly providing sustenance to weak or starving colonies.
- Observation Hives: Suitable for providing feed to smaller or observation hives where internal space is limited.
It can be used with Langstroth, Warre, Top Bar Hives, or any hive type where an entrance feeding solution is practical.
Value Proposition for Target Clients

- Operational Efficiency: Reduces time spent on feeding individual hives, allowing for management of more colonies.
- Cost-Effectiveness: A durable, reusable, and affordable feeding solution that leverages readily available plastic bottles.
