Harvest Lane Honey FEEDBB-102 Entrance Bee Feeder

Product Description

The HARVEST LANE HONEY FEEDBB-102 is a plastic entrance bee feeder designed to deliver sugar water to a honey bee colony directly at the hive entrance. The feeder interfaces with a standard glass jar (not included) that inverts over the feeder body, creating a gravity-fed supply that bees access without leaving the hive entrance. Beekeepers and apiary technicians use this feeder during nectar dearth periods, package installation, and new-colony establishment when supplemental feeding is needed to support colony growth and comb production.

This feeder is intended for three-season use in residential and small-scale commercial apiary settings. It is placed at the hive entrance, making it simple to monitor and refill without opening the hive body. It is not recommended for winter feeding, as cold temperatures affect sugar water viscosity and colony cluster behavior. Best suited for spring buildup, summer dearth feeding, and fall preparation when colonies are still actively foraging.

Key Features

• Plastic construction for durability and easy cleaning between uses
• Mounts at the hive entrance for fast, non-invasive refills
• Compatible with a standard glass jar (sold separately) for the sugar water reservoir
• Gravity-fed design requires no moving parts or assembly tools
• Not recommended for winter feeding — use only during active colony seasons

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Langstroth hive entrances where a glass jar feeder can be positioned at the bottom board. Compatible with most conventional hive entrance configurations that accept an entrance-style feeder.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require disassembly of the hive and is typically performed by the beekeeper or apiary technician. Place the feeder at the hive entrance and seat the filled glass jar (not included) securely over the feeder port before positioning. Inspect the feeder regularly to prevent fermentation of the sugar water solution. Clean the feeder thoroughly between uses to reduce the risk of disease transmission between colonies.
