Ceracell 10 Frame Top Feeder — No Wooden Rim (2.25 Gallon)
Same Ceracell two-tub top feeder design with all the caps included — but without the wooden support rim. For beekeepers who want to build or source their own rim, or who have existing rims from previous feeders.
Features
- 2.25 US gallon (8.5 L) total capacity across two tubs
- 5 access points: 4 corners + 1 center chimney (between the tubs)
- Heavy-duty food-grade plastic with reinforced underside ribs
- Includes 2 plastic tubs, 4 corner caps, 1 center chimney cap — no wooden rim
- Fits standard 10-frame Langstroth hives once you supply a rim
- Works for liquid syrup or dry sugar
How it works
You supply a wooden rim sized for a 10-frame Langstroth box (~20″ × 16″, with a small lift above the hive box so bees can access the center chimney area). Set your rim on the hive, drop the two Ceracell tubs into it side by side, install the corner and center caps, and feed. Without the rim, the tubs sit flat on the hive box top and bees lose access to the center chimney (and the tubs are less stable).

FAQ
Why no wooden rim? Lower price point for users who can source or build their own rim. Same feeder otherwise.
Will the tubs work without a rim? They'll function for corner-only feeding, but the center chimney access depends on the rim creating a gap above the hive box. Without a rim, the tubs sit flat and you lose center access.
What rim dimensions do I need? Roughly 20″ × 16″ to fit a 10-frame Langstroth box, with a small lift (about 3/4″) to create the center chimney gap.
