Ceracell 5 Frame Top Feeder with Wooden Rim (1.3 Gallon)
Two small plastic tubs side-by-side in a wooden support rim, sized for 5-frame nuc boxes — 1.3 gallons of syrup total, with Ceracell's patented corner access design. The 5-frame is the only size without a center chimney; access is via the four corners only.
Features
- 1.3 US gallon (5 L) total capacity across two tubs
- 4 corner access points (no center chimney on the 5-frame)
- Heavy-duty food-grade plastic with reinforced underside ribs
- Wooden support rim holds both tubs in place
- Includes wooden rim (unassembled) and 4 corner caps
- Fits standard 5-frame Langstroth nuc boxes
- Works for liquid syrup or dry sugar
How it works
Assemble the wooden rim, set it on top of your 5-frame nuc box, and drop the two plastic tubs into it side by side. Pour up to 1.3 gallons of 1:1 syrup across both tubs. Bees climb up through the four corner access points, drink, and return safely. For dry feeding, you can leave the corner caps off and let bees range across the surface; add a damp sponge if feeding dry white sugar.

FAQ
Why doesn't this size have a center chimney? Ceracell's 5-frame design is built around corner access only — the nuc box footprint doesn't accommodate a center chimney between the tubs.
Will this fit an 8 or 10-frame hive? No — sized for 5-frame nucs only.
Do I need to buy the center cap? No — there's no center chimney on this size, so you only need corner caps (included).
