BeeMax® Polystyrene Hive Top Feeder. This innovative, leak-proof model from Scandinavia, is so much better than the old wooden hive top feeders. In fact, it is practically maintenance free! Constructed of a seamless, one-piece polystyrene unit, it NEVER needs sealing or resealing. Bees enter at the front and are kept from the bulk of the syrup by a Plexiglas panel. Will fit on either a wooden or polystyrene hive. (Ship Wt: 8 lbs.)

Note: We are changing the mold so that the feeders will fit under a wooden or polystyrene telescoping cover. The outside dimensions of the new feeder will be the same as those of our wooden hive bodies.

Hint 1: We recommend painting the outside of this feeder with a good exterior latex paint.

Hint 2: To clean any mold that might occur, use bleach, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Hint 3: Try leaving the feeder on all winter as top insulation.

Hint on making Sugar Syrup: For Fall feeding, add enough water to 24 lbs. of sugar to make 3 gallons. For Spring feeding, add enough water to 18 lbs. of sugar to make 3 gallons.
