8-Frame Top Feeder - 7.5L Tray

Top feeders are a great way to feed the bees without disrupting the hive. Recommneded for use with Lyson 3/4 depth hive bodies or 3/4 depth wooden hive bodies (purchase separately).

The Ceracell 8-Frame Top Feeder - 7.5L Tray offers several benefits and advantages for beekeepers, enhancing the efficiency and safety of feeding bees. This feeder is designed to fit into an 8 Frame Langstroth hive and is made from extra heavy-duty virgin food grade plastic, ensuring durability and safety for the bees. The feeder's capacity to hold 7.5 liters of sugar syrup is generous, allowing for less frequent refilling and ensuring that the bees have a consistent supply of food.

One of the key features of the Ceracell Top Feeder is its patented protected corner access system, which allows bees to access all the syrup you feed them, even when the hive is on a slight slope. This design improvement over traditional top feeders, which may have syrup that bees cannot access due to their only having a center chimney cap, ensures that no syrup is wasted and that bees can feed more efficiently.

The feeder can be used for both dry or wet feeding, offering flexibility depending on the season and the specific needs of the bee colony. For dry feeding, beekeepers can simply not use the "chimney cap" and let the bees range across the feeder on raw/dry sugar. This versatility is particularly useful for feeding bees throughout the year, especially during winter when bees require additional food sources to survive.

Additionally, the Ceracell Top Feeder is designed to prevent drowning of bees, a common issue with other feeding methods. The feeder's design allows bees to safely access the syrup without the risk of falling into the liquid and drowning, which is a significant advantage for maintaining the health and population of the bee colony.

The feeder's construction with underside ribs for strength and the use of 100% virgin food grade plastic not only ensures durability but also supports the health and safety of the bees by preventing contamination of their food source.

In summary, the Ceracell 8-Frame Top Feeder - 7.5L Tray offers beekeepers a durable, safe, and efficient way to feed their bees. Its generous capacity, flexibility for dry or wet feeding, patented corner access system for efficient feeding, and design features that prevent bee drowning make it an advantageous tool for beekeeping.
