Feeding your bees shouldn't be a production. This simple round top feeder sits right on your inner cover over the existing crown board hole, so you can refill it without cracking the hive open or agitating the colony. Pour in your syrup, set the lid, and walk away.
The transparent center cup lets you see at a glance whether your bees are feeding and how much syrup remains, so you can check the level without a full inspection. At 1.3 liters, it holds a solid amount of feed and is a great choice for spring buildup, fall feeding, or supporting a new package or split getting established.
Made from food-safe polypropylene plastic, it's lightweight, easy to clean, and built to last through many seasons of use. New beekeepers love it for how straightforward it is. Experienced beekeepers keep a few on hand because simple tools that work are hard to beat.
Can be used to feed both liquid syrup and dry sugar. Remove the transparent cup if you are feeding dry.

Flavor Profile
Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado's high country, where the air is pure and nature thrives in abundance, our bees embark on a delightful journey, tasting the very essence of this pristine region's generosity.
Buckwheat: A modest, unassuming plant, yet its nectar yields a honey that is robust with a mellow, vanilla undertone. Rich in antioxidants, this unique flavor profile not only stands out but also balances the sugary whispers from the fruit trees, making it a treasured ingredient in our honey blend.
Fruit Trees: The gentle sway of peach, plum, apple, cherry, pear, and the radiant raspberries paint a picture not just for the eyes but for the palate. Each tree and bush, with its distinct blossom, offers the bees a sweet sip. From the tangy apple to the delicate sweetness of cherry and the zesty hint of raspberries, there's a tale in every taste.
Wildflowers: Dancing in the wild are the unsung floral heroes. They impart a subtle but exquisite floral note, gracefully tying together the boldness of buckwheat and the sweetness of the orchards.
Honey Care
Once you receive your honey, here are a few simple tips to help maintain it’s taste and freshness:
Store in a cool, dry place: Keep your honey away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. A kitchen cabinet or pantry is ideal.
Tightly seal the container: Ensure the cork is securely fastened after each use to prevent moisture from entering, which can lead to fermentation.
Avoid introducing contaminates: Always use clean utensils when scooping honey. Refrain from dipping wet or used spoons into the bottle to maintain its purity.
Crystallization is natural: Over time, honey might crystallize, turning thick and grainy. This doesn't mean it's spoiled. To return it to a liquid state, gently warm the bottle in a water bath, making sure not to overheat, as this can degrade its quality.
Remember, honey is one of the few foods that never spoils. With the right care, you can enjoy its sweetness for years to come!
