This frame feeder is a staff favourite at HBS. It's great for feeding your hives sugar syrup in early and mid winter. It's also great for nucs. A very well-made product that will see you through a few seasons. 

  • Made in America by Mann-Lake
  • Very durable with reinforced lugs
  • 1 gallon capacity (approximately 3 litres)
  • Sturdy, clever design
  • Plastic ladders stop the bees from drowning in the syrup
  • Wooden cap prevents bees from forming burr comb inside
  • You can refill this feeder with a funnel without taking it out of the hive
  • Easy to take apart and clean.

A handy tip from HBS staff: feed sugar syrup to your hives all at the same time, and late in the day. This will minimise the chance of robbing.

Good quality, good fit

16 May 2018
As other frame feeders I have seen tend to be a bit larger than a frame (making for awkward fit), this is a good size and is good build quality (so I do not expect it to bulge or crack anytime soon).Note that this is the yellow feeder, not the black one (for some reason) also pictured (with the wood top and caps) - which is a bit confusing. The textured interior and included floats do effectively prevent drowning, and the capacity is a good compromise between time before needing to refill and old syrup fermenting. So overall, not perfect but recommended for an easy and versatile frame-swap-out supplemental feeder (that also fits in a Nuc).
