Ceracell Beekeeping Supplies "New Top Hive Feeder"

Ceracell Beekeeping Supplies in New Zealand took a good long look into these problems and redesigned the feeder. The new design feature 100% virgin plastic, access to syrup in all 4 corners and the middle, plus it hold 2.5 gallons of syrup. In the winter months, it can be used to feed dry sugar, like the mountain camp method. Just remove the middle and corner covers so the bees can reach the sugar.

I am proud to say that after working with Ceracell and testing out the feeder it is now available in the USA. The current US distributor is working hard to keep the price low but bare in mind that shipping from New Zealand is very expensive.

My Top Feeder video

If you have ever used a top hive bee feeder, you probably already know they have their pro's & con's. Depending on the style of top hive feeder, some have floats that don't fully stop drowning issues and others allow access to syrup through a screened middle middle sections. The problem with feeding through the middle is that when the syrup level drops, it recedes to the lowest side of the hive making it inaccessible for the bees. Then days later the remaining syrup begins to mold leaving the feeder in need of a good cleaning before it can be re-used.
