Feeding Bees All Year With Ceracell's Top Hive Feeder

If your looking for a bee hive feeder that has several uses, this is the feeder for you. This top hive feeder is made to be used year round regardless what your feeding your bees or what climate you live in.


1. The top hive feeder holds 2.5 gallons of liquid syrup and it's constructed of virgin food grade plastics so there is no toxins added to your syrup or hives.

2. This feeder is 100% drown proof with it's corner and center caps placed in the feeder. (caps are included with feeder)
3. With the bees having corner access to the syrup there is no waste regardless how level your hive is. As where with other top hive feeders, as the syrup level lowers the bees lose access to it.






4. With the corner guards removed it gives the bees access to enter the feeder, then it can also act as a dry sugar feeder. This is ideal for winter feedings.

5. It also makes a great dry pollen sub feeder on or away from the hives. Of course, using it away from the hives you would need to cover it to keep out rain, an 8 frame lids work great on the 10 frame feeder.

    I have a few of these in our hives and have noticed one hive that keeps drowning themselves in the corner, have you had this issue? Can you use sandpaper or something on the inside of the corners to give them a little more grip?

      That's strange, I've never noticed any drowning with my feeders. Yes, sandpaper would be a great way to ruff up the corner pieces to give the bees better traction. If your not aware the corner just snap out. Good luck, I hope it fixes your problem.

  As a beekeeper I like to be able to make what I need for my bees. By doing this I know what I am getting which is a plus in my book.  I would like to teach you how to make your own wax cups to raise your queen bees in. This is not a difficult task but it can get messy if your not careful. Whats needed to complete wax cups: 1. 100% Pure bees wax melted 2. 5/16 dowel rod About 6" long 3. A cup of cold water 4. Sandpaper or sander 5. 1 Jz-Bz plastic queen cup We will start by shaping the tip of the dowel rod. You need to round the tip somewhat and bevel in the sides. It needs to look like the bottom of a cell (nicely rounded). The bees will reject anything they do not like. Just remember practices makes perfect, right? If you fail try something a little different.  Spend some time shaping the end of your dowel with sandpaper or electric sander. Just don't take off to much.
