Feeders
Feeding your bees sugar syrup can prevent starvation and stimulate the laying of eggs. Each feeder has its own special purpose, so choose the feeder that is right for your area and your hive.
Things You’ll Need:
- Entrance Feeders
- Division Board Bee Feeders
-
Pail Bee Feeders
-
Hive Top Feeders
Step1 Determine the number of hives you need to feed.
Step2 Consider the weather conditions in your area. Use inside feeders such as hive top, pail or division boards during the winter and maybe use entrance feeders during the summer.
Step3 Determine the costs associated with each type of feeder. Division board or pail and hivetop feeders are a one-time cost that should last for years.
Step4 Consider the distance involved in transporting syrup to hives. Syrup can be transported in five gallon jugs and poured into the feeders.
