Top feeder for Langstroth Hive (and Dadant)
7.5kg capacity plastic beehive feeder
Low budget solution for top feeding. Sun exposure will break this plastic down over time. Keeping it out of direct sunlight will preserve its life.
Essential for Spring and autumn feeding.
Suitable for syrup feeding and fondant feeding
Fits inside the Anel beehive lid and does not change it's height
Made by Anel, Greece
Item dimensions: 51 x 41 x 6cm
This feeder fits very nicely onto the brood box and once the roof locking catches are closed is firmly held in place. The ability to feed syrup or fondant makes this a very useful feeder.
The only reason I have given it 4 stars is that when fitting the baffles I found the plastic locating lugs were very tight and despite lubricating them with silicone spray managed to break two of the corner ones from their fixing on the top of the baffle. I have managed to repair them by using the broken locating lug as a plug and then fixing with a screw and washer. Whilst this is no big deal and wont affect the use of the feeder it might be worth mentioning to ANEL as a weak point that needs addressing
