Internal Plastic Bee Feeder Trough 15 x 7.3 cm

Reliable Internal Bee Feeder for Consistent Colony Support

This internal plastic bee feeder trough is designed to provide controlled, hygienic feeding inside the hive during periods of low nectar flow. Made from sturdy, food-safe plastic, it offers a practical solution for supplying sugar syrup or honey-based feed directly to your bees while minimizing disturbance and reducing the risk of robbing.

Measuring approximately 15 cm x 7.3 cm (L x W) with an attached feed hose of about 20 cm, this feeder is sized for convenient placement on top of the frames or within suitable hive spaces. Multiple access points allow bees to feed efficiently, while the enclosed design helps keep the feed clean and protected from external pests. The smooth plastic surface is easy to rinse and disinfect between uses, supporting good hive hygiene and long-term use.
