This feeder is engineered for optimal performance, durability, and ease of use in any apiary setting.
Product Description
The HONESTBEE Entrance Bee Feeder is a thoughtfully designed two-part system, comprising a high-capacity translucent reservoir and a sturdy, bright yellow base. Its professional aesthetic is matched by its practical functionality, making it an indispensable tool for modern apiculture.
Design and Appearance
- Reservoir: The cylindrical reservoir is constructed from a durable, semi-transparent plastic, allowing beekeepers to easily monitor liquid levels (syrup or water) at a glance. Its smooth surface facilitates easy cleaning.
- Base Unit: The base is injection-molded from high-quality, impact-resistant yellow plastic. This vibrant color is known to be attractive to bees, guiding them to the feeding source. The base features:
- A secure, circular recess that snugly holds the inverted reservoir.
- A dedicated feeding platform with a textured, grid-like surface. This design provides ample footing for bees, allowing them to access the liquid safely while significantly reducing the risk of drowning.
- Integrated channels that ensure a controlled, gravity-fed flow of liquid from the reservoir to the feeding area. The 1.5cm wide structural elements and access channels, meticulously designed for optimal flow and bee access.
Dimensions
The feeder is dimensioned for practicality and compatibility with standard hive entrances:
- Overall Base Dimensions:
- Length: 15cm
- Width: 8.5cm
- Platform Height: 0.7cm
- Reservoir Dimensions:
- Height: 13.2cm
- Diameter: 7cm
- Feeding Platform Length: 6.2cm (the textured area extending from the reservoir housing)
Key Features and Benefits
The HONESTBEE Entrance Bee Feeder stands out due to its focus on durability, functionality, and professional-grade quality:
- Robust Durability: Constructed from high-grade plastics, both the reservoir and base are designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, varying weather conditions, and repeated handling in commercial apiaries. This ensures a long service life, providing excellent value.
- Enhanced Functionality:
- Efficient Feeding: The gravity-fed system ensures a consistent supply of liquid as long as the reservoir is filled.
- Anti-Drowning Design: The textured landing and feeding area provides secure footing for bees, minimizing accidental drowning – a common issue with other feeder types.
- Clear Monitoring: The translucent reservoir allows for quick and easy visual checks of the feed level, saving time and reducing hive disturbance.
- Ease of Use:
- Simple Refilling: The reservoir can be easily removed, refilled, and replaced without disturbing the colony significantly.
- Quick Placement: Designed to sit at the hive entrance, it's straightforward to install and remove.
- Easy to Clean: The smooth surfaces of the reservoir and the accessible design of the base make cleaning simple and efficient, promoting hive hygiene.
- Professional Appearance: The clean lines, sturdy construction, and practical design reflect a professional approach to beekeeping, suitable for well-managed apiaries.
Applications and Use Cases
This Entrance Bee Feeder is versatile and essential for various beekeeping operations:
- Supplemental Feeding: Ideal for providing sugar syrup during nectar dearths, early spring build-up, or late autumn preparations for winter.
- Water Provision: Can be used to supply a clean water source, especially crucial during hot weather or when natural sources are scarce.
- Stimulative Feeding: Encourages queen laying and colony expansion when timed appropriately.
- Supporting New Colonies/Nucs: Provides essential nourishment for newly established colonies or nucleus hives.
- Reduced Hive Robbing: As an entrance feeder, it can sometimes be more defensible by the colony compared to internal feeders, especially if the entrance is reduced.
