Apimaye 10 Frame Dual Feeder (1 Gallon Syrup + Fondant)
A one-piece insulated dual feeder built specifically for 10-frame Langstroth hives. Holds up to 1 gallon of liquid syrup and fondant or pollen patties at the same time — switch between feed modes without rearranging the hive. From Apimaye, makers of the insulated polystyrene hive system.
Features
- Up to 4 liters (~1.06 gallons) syrup capacity
- Holds fondant or pollen patties simultaneously in the center reservoir
- Transparent top cover — see syrup levels and patty status at a glance
- Permanently attached feed selector caps (no lost parts)
- One-piece design, no assembly required
- Sits directly on the 10-frame hive body, replaces the need for a separate inner cover
- Designed to fit under standard telescopic outer covers
How it works
Set the dual feeder directly on top of your 10-frame deep or medium hive body — it replaces the inner cover entirely. Pour liquid syrup into the side reservoir (up to 1 gallon) and place fondant or pollen patties in the center cavity. Bees access feed through the selector caps. The transparent top cover lets you check both feed sources without lifting the feeder. Top with your existing telescopic outer cover and check periodically.

FAQ
Will this fit an 8-frame hive? No — designed for 10-frame Langstroth only.
Does this replace my inner cover? Yes — the dual feeder sits directly on the hive body and replaces the inner cover when installed. Your outer cover goes on top.
Can I feed syrup and fondant at the same time? Yes — that's the design intent. Syrup in the side reservoir, fondant or pollen patties in the center cavity.
Will my existing outer cover fit? Most standard telescopic covers fit. Warped or unusually tight covers may need slight shaving inside to clear the feeder edges.
