Designed for 8-Frame Hives

This Ceracell top feeder is specifically designed to fit standard 8-frame hives, making it a practical choice for beekeepers using an 8-frame hive configuration.

Its compact format allows the feeder to sit above the colony while providing convenient access to supplemental feed.

Food-Grade Plastic and Durable Wood

The feeder combines high-quality food-grade plastic with durable wood, creating a sturdy and practical feeding system.

The plastic feeding component provides the area for holding sugar or syrup, while the wooden housing provides the supporting structure around the feeder.

Wooden Housing and Components

The feeder includes an unassembled wooden rim, along with the required components for assembling the feeding setup.

The wooden construction provides a stable structure while allowing the beekeeper to prepare the feeder before placing it on the hive.

Corner Caps and Centre Chimney Cap

The kit includes corner caps and a centre chimney cap, giving beekeepers different options for managing access to the feeder.

The chimney cap can be used to restrict bee access when feeding liquid syrup, while removing it allows bees to range more freely across the feeder.

Suitable for Sugar and Syrup Feeding

The feeder can be used for raw sugar, dry white sugar and heavy syrup, depending on the feeding requirements of the colony and the season.

For dry sugar feeding, the product information recommends adding a damp sponge to provide moisture. For heavy syrup, the chimney cap can be used to help control bee access to the liquid feed.

Convenient Top Feeding

A top feeder allows supplemental feed to be provided from above the colony rather than requiring individual frames to be removed.

This can make feeding more convenient while helping reduce unnecessary disruption to the brood area.

Useful During Seasonal Feeding

Supplemental feeding can be useful when natural forage is limited or when colonies need additional stores. A dedicated top feeder provides a convenient way to supply feed while keeping the feeding area contained within the hive.

The Ceracell feeder can therefore be useful during different periods of the beekeeping season.

Helps Keep Feeding Organised

The enclosed top-feeder design keeps the feeding area positioned above the colony and provides a dedicated place for feed.

This makes it easier to manage supplemental feeding as part of a regular hive-management routine.

Practical for Hobby and Experienced Beekeepers

The straightforward design makes the feeder suitable for hobby beekeepers as well as experienced apiary operators.

Its 8-frame configuration is particularly useful for beekeepers working with compatible 8-frame hive equipment.
