Boardman Feeder
Boardman Feeder – Entrance Feeder for Honey Bees
Provide your honey bees with easy access to supplemental syrup with a Boardman Feeder from West Alabama Bee Company. This simple entrance-style feeder allows bees to access sugar syrup from inside the hive while the container remains outside for convenient monitoring and refilling.
Boardman feeders are especially useful when feeding new colonies, packages, or nucs and when providing supplemental feed during periods of limited nectar availability.
Features & Benefits
- Easy to Use: Simple design makes feeding your bees quick and convenient.
- Entrance Feeding: Slides into the hive entrance so bees can access syrup from inside the colony.
- Easy to Monitor: Check syrup levels without opening the hive.
- Convenient Refilling: Remove and refill the syrup container without disturbing the colony.
- Great for New Colonies: Useful when establishing packages, nucs, and newly installed colonies.
- Reusable: A practical feeder that can be used season after season.
Simple Supplemental Feeding
A Boardman Feeder provides a convenient way to supply sugar syrup when your bees need additional food. It is particularly useful for helping new colonies draw comb and become established.
Note: Entrance feeders can sometimes encourage robbing, especially during nectar dearths. Monitor colonies while feeding and discontinue or switch to an internal feeder if robbing becomes a problem.
