Bee Feeders

Common questions

Frame feeder, pail feeder or top feeder?

Frame feeders sit inside the brood box and avoid robbing; pail feeders hang in an empty box; top feeders sit over the inner-cover hole when you want zero disturbance.

What sugar syrup ratio should I feed?

1:1 sugar to water in spring to stimulate build-up, 2:1 in fall for winter stores. Stop feeding once supers are on.

How do I stop robbing at the feeders?

Feed in the evening, prefer internal or top feeders over open entrance feeders, and reduce the entrance while feeding weak colonies.
