Langstroth frame feeder
Food grade plastic frame feeder / dummy board
There is no need to empty it of bees before filling it.
Special plastic floaters, right and left, protect the bees from drowning.
The inner walls have indentations to allow the bees to easily climb up.
Ideal for feeding in hives where queen rearing is applied.
TIP: In winter you can use it to narrow the space available to the bees and insulate the colony from the side.
In the 1970s, Mr. Emmanuel Pantelakis, founder of ANEL, designed and built this revolutionary type feeder. This invention has received a Silver Award from APIMONDIA. The only feeder that fills from bottom to top.
I found a very high mortality rate using this particular feeder,
20mm of dead bees on top of the floats.
GOOD PRODUCT
Went in for a dummy board and this was suggested, as I also needed a feeder this was a great solution. Love the way you fill the central section and it spreads out from the bottom raising the floats up meaning bees can climb onto those and its easy to see how high its filled too.
I did find it a bit difficult to clean out comb that the bees had started to build in it once empty but that was my own fault for leaving too long before checking.
