HONESTBEE, your dedicated wholesale supplier of premium beekeeping equipment, is pleased to present our robust and efficient Entrance Bee Feeder. Specifically designed for the needs of commercial beekeepers and discerning bee equipment distributors, this feeder combines durability, functionality, and a professional aesthetic to support healthy and productive apiaries.
Detailed Product Description
The HONESTBEE Entrance Bee Feeder is a thoughtfully designed two-part system engineered for convenient and effective hive feeding. It comprises:
- A High-Capacity Transparent Reservoir: This clear, rectangular container holds a generous amount of syrup, allowing beekeepers to easily monitor feed levels at a glance without disturbing the colony. Its smooth, durable plastic construction ensures longevity and ease of cleaning.
- A Sturdy Yellow Base Tray: The vibrant yellow base is crafted from tough, impact-resistant plastic. It features a dedicated feeding trough where bees can access the syrup. An integrated, grooved landing board extends from the front, providing bees with a secure and accessible entry point to the feeder. The base is designed to fit snugly at the hive entrance.
The assembled unit presents a clean, professional look, fitting seamlessly into modern beekeeping operations.
Design and Dimensions
The feeder's design prioritizes ease of use for the beekeeper and safe access for the bees, while maximizing feed capacity.
Overall Assembled Dimensions:
- Height: 18.7cm
- Base Width: 13.4cm
- Base Depth (including landing area): 14.5cm
Reservoir Dimensions:
- Width: 12cm
- Depth: 7.2cm
Landing Area / Entrance Extension Width:
- Width: 2.2cm (referring to the protruding grooved section)
The transparent nature of the reservoir is a key design element for quick visual checks, while the solid yellow base provides stability and is a color known to be attractive to bees. The narrow profile of the reservoir allows it to hold a significant volume without being overly bulky.
Key Features and Advantages
This Entrance Bee Feeder is engineered with the professional beekeeper in mind:
- Professional Appearance: The sleek, clean lines and quality materials (clear and vibrant yellow plastic) project a professional image suitable for any commercial apiary.
- Exceptional Durability: Constructed from high-grade, weather-resistant plastics, this feeder is built to withstand the rigors of daily use in diverse environmental conditions, ensuring a long service life and excellent return on investment.
- Enhanced Functionality:
- Easy Monitoring: The transparent reservoir allows for quick and effortless visual inspection of syrup levels, saving time and minimizing colony disturbance.
- Reduced Hive Disturbance: Refilling is done externally, keeping hive openings to a minimum, which is crucial for maintaining colony temperament and internal hive conditions.
- Sufficient Capacity: The generous volume reduces the frequency of refills, optimizing labor for large-scale operations.
- Controlled Bee Access: The design facilitates easy access for bees from the hive while helping to reduce robbing from other colonies and deterring larger pests.
- Easy to Clean: The simple two-part construction allows for straightforward disassembly, cleaning, and sanitization, vital for hive hygiene.
- Stable Placement: Designed to sit securely at the hive entrance, providing a reliable feeding station.
Application Scenarios
The HONESTBEE Entrance Bee Feeder is a versatile tool indispensable for:
- Spring Buildup: Providing essential carbohydrates to stimulate brood rearing and rapid colony expansion.
- Nectar Dearth: Supplementing colonies during periods when natural forage is scarce, preventing starvation and maintaining colony strength.
- New Colony Establishment: Assisting newly hived packages or nucs in drawing out comb and quickly building up resources.
- Autumn Feeding: Ensuring colonies have adequate stores to survive the winter months.
- Weak Colony Support: Giving struggling colonies an extra boost without the robbing pressure often associated with internal feeders in weak hives.
