Economy Plastic Entrance Feeder (16 oz, Self-Contained)
A simple, all-in-one entrance feeder for short-term feeding. Fill, cap, and slide it into your hive entrance — no separate jar required. Good for emergency or supplemental feeding when you just need to top up a colony quickly.

How it works
Fill the chamber with 1:1 syrup, snap the cap on, and slide the unit into the front entrance of your hive. Bees access the syrup through the cap perforations. When empty, pull, refill, reinstall.

FAQ
Why is the color sometimes different? We get this product in either yellow or white depending on production run. Color shipped is stock-dependent.
How often will I refill? A strong colony can drain 16 oz in a day during heavy spring buildup.
Is this a true Boardman feeder? No — it's an all-in-one entrance feeder with no separate jar. The classic Boardman uses a quart jar inverted in a tray.
