HONESTBEE, a dedicated wholesale supplier of comprehensive beekeeping tools and equipment for commercial apiaries and bee equipment distributors, proudly presents our Top Bee Feeder. This feeder is meticulously designed to provide a reliable, efficient, and safe feeding solution for your colonies, embodying the quality and practicality HONESTBEE stands for.
Detailed Product Description
Our Top Bee Feeder is a thoughtfully engineered three-piece system designed for optimal performance and ease of use. The components are:
- Main Reservoir Tray: This is a robust, square tray constructed from durable, light peach/orange colored plastic. It forms the main body of the feeder, designed to hold a substantial amount of liquid feed (sugar syrup). The interior features a central, raised cylinder with integrated support ribs, which securely houses the central access cup.
- Transparent Lid: A clear, sturdy plastic lid fits snugly over the reservoir tray. Its transparency is a key feature, allowing beekeepers to easily monitor feed levels without disturbing the bees or opening the hive. The lid incorporates a central opening that aligns with the reservoir's cylinder and features four strategically placed, transparent, cone-shaped access points. These cones allow bees to safely access the feed while significantly minimizing the risk of drowning.
- Central Access Cup: A transparent, fluted plastic cup that inserts into the central cylinder of the reservoir tray and extends slightly above the lid's central opening. This component is crucial for regulating the flow of feed and providing a secure platform for bees to access the syrup, further enhancing safety and preventing bees from becoming submerged in the main feed reservoir.
When assembled, the system creates a sealed unit that protects the feed from debris and robbing, while providing controlled access for your bees.
Shape and Dimensions
The feeder boasts a practical and space-efficient square design, ensuring stability and ease of placement on top of the hive.
- Overall Dimensions: 180mm (Length) x 180mm (Width)
- Height: 55mm
- Shape: Square
This standardized footprint is designed to integrate seamlessly with common hive configurations, typically fitting within the dimensions of an outer cover or directly over the inner cover's central hole.
Product Advantages
The HONESTBEE Top Bee Feeder is engineered with the professional beekeeper and discerning distributor in mind, focusing on:
-
Professional Appearance:
- The clean lines, uniform color of the reservoir, and high-clarity transparent components present a professional and well-manufactured product.
- Its thoughtful design reflects quality and efficiency, appealing to beekeepers who value well-made equipment.
-
Exceptional Durability:
- Constructed from high-quality, thick-walled plastic, this feeder is built to withstand the rigors of commercial beekeeping operations.
- It is resistant to warping, cracking, and degradation from UV exposure and temperature fluctuations, ensuring longevity and repeated use across seasons.
- The robust materials can handle the weight of the feed and the demands of frequent handling.
-
Superior Functionality:
- Enhanced Bee Safety: The primary advantage is the prevention of bee drowning. The central access cup and the four raised cones on the lid provide safe access points, allowing bees to feed without falling into the main syrup reservoir.
- Easy Monitoring: The transparent lid and access cup enable quick and non-invasive checks of feed levels, saving time and minimizing colony disturbance.
- Convenient Refilling: The lid can be easily removed for refilling the reservoir tray, making the feeding process efficient.
- Reduced Disturbance: Being a top feeder, it allows for refilling with minimal disturbance to the colony compared to internal frame feeders.
- Hygienic Design: The smooth plastic surfaces are easy to clean and sanitize between uses, helping to maintain hive health and prevent the spread of diseases.
- Adequate Capacity: The dimensions provide a generous volume for feed, reducing the frequency of refills, especially crucial during critical feeding periods.
Application Scenarios
This Top Bee Feeder is versatile and indispensable in various beekeeping contexts:
- Supplemental Feeding: Ideal for providing sugar syrup during nectar dearths, periods of poor weather, or when natural forage is scarce.

- Overwintering Preparation: Crucial for ensuring colonies have sufficient stores to survive the winter months.
- Queen Rearing Operations: Provides consistent nourishment for queen mating nucs and cell builders.
- Emergency Feeding: Quickly deployable to prevent starvation in weak or struggling colonies.
