Description

The Improved Mann Lake Top Feeder Insert features a galvanized steel safety screen designed to reduce bee drowning.

This feeder is constructed of heavy-duty, single-piece plastic to provide a no-leak reservoir! Unpainted wooden surrounding measures 4½" x 19⅝" (11.43 cm x 49.85 cm) and fits all standard equipment. There is no comparison to the strength and durability this feeder provides over foam top-feeders. 

  • Fill the feeder without opening the hive
  • One piece construction prevents leaking
  • Unpainted wooden surrounding measures 4½" x 19⅝" (11.43 cm x 49.85 cm)

Remove honey supers intended for human consumption prior to feeding.

Pro Tip: If this feeder runs completely empty or the syrup level gets very low, bees may crowd under the screen and struggle to find their way back, which can lead to drowning. To help prevent this, you can apply a bead of food-grade caulking along the bottom of the screen.

    I am new to top feeders and have not yet installed these (still waiting for the last coat of paint to dry) so this criticism may be unfounded, but... ...the "walls" on the underside, interior of the reservoir seem extremely smooth. I am concerned that the bees may not be able to get a grip and crawl up from the lower box. Otherwise I'd give it five stars.

    Received damage

    by Brandon Dykes on Apr 23, 2024

    I received the top feeder with some medium frames and foundation. Upon receiving my package, it was noticed that the box was not damaged in anyway but once I open the package, I noticed that the screen portion of the feeder was damaged and ripped where it was screwed into the plastic not a big deal, and I didn’t want to waste time returning it but it looked like the other stuff packaged within the box damaged it.

    It was not Good!

    We got this hoping it would be a much better solution than the in frame feeder but we filled this with a gallon on each side and were hopeful...The next week we come back to Hundreds of dead bee's and a lot that died in the feeder as well...Maybe we didn't use it right but it sure didn't work for us.
