HONESTBEE, your trusted wholesale partner for premier beekeeping supplies, is pleased to introduce our durable and efficient Top Bee Feeder. Designed specifically for the needs of commercial apiaries and beekeeping equipment distributors, this feeder combines robust construction with practical functionality to support healthy and productive bee colonies.
Product Overview
The HONESTBEE Top Bee Feeder is an essential tool for modern beekeeping, providing a safe, convenient, and effective method for delivering liquid feed (syrup or water) to bee colonies. Its thoughtful design minimizes bee drowning and disturbance while offering a generous capacity.
Design and Construction
1. Professional Appearance & Robust Build: The feeder features a clean, professional aesthetic in a neutral white color, suitable for any apiary. It is constructed from high-quality, food-grade plastic, ensuring it is both durable and safe for bees. The material is selected for its resistance to warping, cracking, and UV degradation, promising long service life even under rigorous commercial use.
2. Key Components:
- Main Reservoir Base: A sturdy, rectangular tray designed to hold a significant volume of liquid feed. The base incorporates a central, raised cone.
- Central Access Cone: This integrated, volcano-shaped cone rises from the center of the reservoir. Its primary function is to allow bees access to the feed from above while preventing them from entering and drowning in the main liquid body.
- Transparent Access Cap: A clear, cylindrical cap fits snugly over or into the central cone. This cap features multiple small perforations on its top surface, allowing bees to safely access the syrup that rises into the cone without direct exposure to the bulk liquid. The transparency aids in quickly assessing feed levels and bee activity.
- Secure Lid: A well-fitting flat lid covers the entire feeder, protecting the feed from rain, debris, and robbing by other insects or bees from neighboring hives. It also helps to retain heat, making the syrup more attractive to bees in cooler weather.
Dimensions and Specifications
- Overall Width: 39 cm / 15.35 inches
- Overall Depth: 33 cm / 12.99 inches
- Overall Height: 7.2 cm / 2.83 inches
- Material: High-density, food-grade plastic
- Color: White
The dimensions make it suitable for placement directly on top of standard Langstroth hive bodies, under the main hive cover.
Functionality and Application
The HONESTBEE Top Bee Feeder is designed for ease of use and maximum bee safety:
- Filling: Simply remove the hive's outer cover and inner cover (if used), place the feeder base directly over the frames or a hive-top opening. Pour the syrup into the main reservoir.
- Bee Access: Place the transparent access cap over the central cone. Bees will enter the feeder through the hive's top opening, climb the central cone, and access the syrup through the small holes in the cap.
- Protection: Place the feeder's lid securely on top. The hive's outer cover then goes over the feeder.
Application Scenarios:
- Supplemental Feeding: Ideal for providing sugar syrup during nectar dearths, stimulating brood rearing, or building up weak colonies.
- Autumn/Winter Preparation: Essential for ensuring colonies have adequate stores for winter survival.
- New Colony Establishment: Helps new packages or nucs to draw out comb and establish quickly.
- Water Source: Can be used to provide a clean water source during dry periods, directly within the hive.
Advantages and Value Proposition
For Commercial Beekeepers:
- Enhanced Bee Safety: The central cone and perforated cap system significantly reduces the risk of bees drowning, a common issue with open feeders.
- Large Capacity: The generous volume minimizes the frequency of refills, saving valuable time and labor in large-scale operations.
- Durability & Longevity: Constructed from robust, food-grade plastic, this feeder is built to withstand repeated use and harsh apiary conditions, offering excellent return on investment.
- Easy to Clean: Smooth surfaces allow for quick and thorough cleaning, crucial for maintaining hive hygiene and preventing disease spread.
- Minimal Disturbance: Feeding can be done with minimal disturbance to the colony, as the hive does not need to be fully opened.
- Efficient Feed Uptake: Bees can easily access the feed, promoting rapid consumption and colony development.
For Beekeeping Equipment Distributors:
- High-Demand Product: Top feeders are a staple in beekeeping, ensuring consistent demand.
- Quality Assurance: HONESTBEE's commitment to quality means you can confidently offer a reliable and effective product to your customers.
- Professional Standard: The feeder's design and construction meet the expectations of serious beekeepers.
- Competitive Wholesale Pricing: Partner with HONESTBEE to access quality equipment at prices that support your business growth.
