10 Frame Feeder Shim For Baggie Feeding
The 10 Frame Feeder Shim gives your bees feed with a simple setup: it creates the clearance needed for two 10" x 13" baggies, making baggie feeding a practical option for a 10-frame hive. It sits just below your inner cover and ships with the hardware and two baggies you need to get started.
Features
- Purpose-built for baggie feeding in a 10-frame hive.
- Holds two 10" x 13" baggies.
- Sits just below the inner cover, on top of the super.
- Includes hardware for assembly and 2 baggies.
- Ships unassembled for easy storage until needed.
- Made in the USA.
How it works (in real life)
Place the shim below the inner cover and on top of the super, lay a syrup-filled baggie inside, and poke pin-size holes so the bees can draw the syrup off the surface. The shim provides the clearance the baggies need in the right spot, so placement is easy and routine checks stay organized instead of improvised.
Directions
- Add the shim below the inner cover, on top of the super.
- Add the bag to the super.
- Pour sugar syrup into the bag.
- Poke pin-size holes into the bag using a needle — about 50 holes.
Caution: Do not use anything larger than a needle to poke the holes, or the syrup will drain too fast into the hive below.
