Plastic Boardman Entrance Feeder with 70mm Plastic Cap

The classic Boardman feeder in lightweight plastic — slide a quart jar into the tray, set it at the hive entrance, and let your bees feed without disturbance. The included punched plastic cap means you don't have to source a separate jar lid.

Features

• Plastic tray + 70mm punched plastic cap included
• Fits standard regular-mouth quart jars (jar sold separately)
• Slides between bottom board and brood chamber
• See syrup levels without opening the hive
• Lightweight and inexpensive — good fit for new beekeepers

How it works

Fill a quart jar with 1:1 syrup, screw on the included punched cap, invert it into the plastic tray, and slide the assembly into the front entrance of your hive. Bees access the syrup through the cap perforations.

• Tray + cap only — you supply the jar
