Feeder

[cidersabuzzin]

Hi everyone
I was wondering if a feeder for a TBH could be made the same as the water dispensers you see attached to rabbit hutches? It would obviously have a much larger bottle, but I was wondering if the end of the dispensing tube will be too small to accommodate enough bees at any one time? Your thoughts will be appreciated.
Regards

Hanging it on the outside will induce robbing. Hanging it inside is the only way to use such a feeder. TBH are not usually deep enough. Besides, unless it's a drippy bottle, only a few bees can get the syrup at a time, so it's not worth the effort.

You could drill a hole through a follower board and hang it on the outside of the follower with the tube extending through the board into the hive.

Alternately, I cut a piece just big enough to slide a Boardman feeder through the very bottom of my follower board.  I just put a quart jar in the feeder and push the feeder through the space into the hive.

The easiest way is to put a baggie feeder in the hive.
