HONESTBEE, a dedicated wholesale supplier to commercial apiaries and beekeeping equipment distributors, is proud to present our robust Frame Bee Feeder. This essential piece of equipment is meticulously designed to provide a reliable, efficient, and bee-safe feeding solution for honeybee colonies, supporting their health and productivity.
Product Description
The HONESTBEE Frame Bee Feeder is engineered for durability and functionality, fitting seamlessly into standard Langstroth hive bodies.
Material and Construction: Crafted from high-quality, heavy-duty, food-grade black plastic, this feeder is built to withstand the rigors of commercial beekeeping operations. The robust construction ensures longevity, resisting warping, cracking, and degradation from sugar syrup or exposure to the elements. Its one-piece molded design minimizes potential leakage points.
Design and Appearance: The feeder presents a professional and sleek black finish. Its overall design mimics a standard Langstroth deep frame, allowing it to replace one or typically two frames within the brood box or honey super. This in-hive placement is crucial for minimizing robbing and maintaining hive temperature during feeding.
Key Features:
- Integrated Frame Rests: The top edge features molded "ears" or lugs, identical to those on standard wooden or plastic frames, allowing it to hang securely on the hive body's frame rests.
- Textured Interior Walls: The internal side walls of the feeder are ribbed or textured. This thoughtful design element provides essential grip for bees, allowing them to safely access the syrup and climb out, significantly reducing the risk of drowning.
- Wide Top Opening: The feeder has a generous opening at the top for easy filling with syrup.
Dimensions and Capacity
- Overall Length (including frame rests): Approximately 48.2cm. This corresponds to the standard length of a Langstroth hive frame, ensuring a perfect fit in 10-frame or 8-frame Langstroth equipment.
- Height/Depth: Approximately 22.5cm. This aligns with the depth of a standard Langstroth deep brood frame.
This feeders can hold between 1 to 2 gallons (approximately 3.7 to 7.5 liters) of syrup. This large capacity is ideal for reducing the frequency of refills.
Advantages and Benefits
The HONESTBEE Frame Bee Feeder offers numerous advantages for modern beekeeping:
- Professional & Durable: Built for repeated, heavy-duty use in commercial settings. The high-quality plastic ensures a long service life.
- Large Capacity: Reduces labor and disturbance to the hive by minimizing the need for frequent refills.
- Bee Safety: The textured inner walls are a critical feature, providing a ladder system for bees to prevent drowning, ensuring more bees benefit from the feed.
- In-Hive Placement:
- Reduces robbing by other colonies, as the feed source is contained within the hive.
- Helps maintain the internal temperature of the hive during feeding, especially in cooler weather.
- Allows bees to access feed regardless of external weather conditions.
- Ease of Use: Simple to insert into the hive, fill with syrup, and remove for cleaning.
- Efficient Feeding: Delivers syrup directly to the cluster, promoting rapid colony buildup or sustaining colonies during nectar dearth.
- Easy to Clean: The smooth plastic surfaces (where not textured for grip) facilitate straightforward cleaning and sterilization between uses.
Applications and Use Scenarios
This Frame Bee Feeder is versatile and indispensable for various beekeeping management practices:
- Spring Colony Buildup: Stimulating early brood rearing and rapid population growth.
- Nectar Dearth Periods: Providing essential nourishment when natural forage is scarce.
- Establishing New Colonies: Supporting package bees or nucs to draw out comb and build stores.
- Autumn Feeding: Ensuring colonies have adequate stores for overwintering.
- Emergency Feeding: Quickly providing sustenance to colonies at risk of starvation.
- Queen Rearing Operations: Supporting cell builders and mating nucs.
