Large Entrance Bee Feeder for Convenient Hive Feeding
The OZ Armour Large Entrance Bee Feeder provides a convenient way to supply supplemental feed directly at the hive entrance. Its practical design gives bees easy access to feed while allowing beekeepers to monitor and refill the feeder without opening the hive.

Large Entrance Feeder Design
Designed specifically for hive entrance feeding, this large bee feeder provides a practical feeding point at the front of the colony. Its larger format offers a useful option for beekeepers who need more feeding capacity than a smaller entrance feeder.
Easy Access for Bees
The entrance position allows bees to access the feed directly without requiring the beekeeper to open the hive. This makes the feeder convenient when supplemental feeding is needed while keeping routine hive disturbance to a minimum.
Easy to Monitor and Refill
Because the feeder is positioned at the hive entrance, it is easy to check the feed level during routine apiary visits. You can quickly determine when additional feed is required and refill it without removing frames or opening the brood area.
Simple Hive Installation
The feeder is designed to be positioned at the hive entrance, providing a straightforward feeding solution without complicated assembly. Its simple design makes it practical for both new and experienced beekeepers.

Convenient Supplemental Feeding
An entrance feeder can be useful when a colony requires additional feed and the beekeeper wants a simple external feeding option. It can be particularly useful for temporary or small-scale feeding requirements.
Compact Feeding Solution
Unlike a large top feeder, an entrance feeder does not require additional space above the hive. Its compact design makes it a practical choice for beekeepers who prefer a straightforward feeding setup.
Suitable for Different Apiary Setups
The Large Entrance Bee Feeder can be incorporated into suitable hive setups where entrance feeding is appropriate. It is useful for hobby apiaries as well as experienced beekeepers who want an additional feeding option available when required.
Feeding Consideration
Entrance feeding should be managed carefully because exposed feed around the hive entrance can potentially encourage robbing, particularly when forage is scarce or colonies are weak.
For regular or larger-volume syrup feeding, a more enclosed internal or top-feeding system may provide a more controlled alternative.
