Types of Bee Feeders
HillCo offers a focused range of bee feeders built for efficient and controlled feeding inside the hive. Our lineup includes:
Top Feeders for Hives
Hive top feeders are installed above the hive body, allowing beekeepers to supply large volumes of syrup with minimal disturbance to the colony. These feeders are ideal for supporting colonies during early buildup or pre-winter feeding.
Frame Feeders for Bees
Frame feeders (division board feeders) fit directly inside the hive in place of a frame. They provide a space-efficient way to deliver syrup directly within the brood area, making them suitable for targeted feeding and smaller colonies.
In-Hive Feeders
In-hive feeders are designed to operate within the hive structure, offering protected feeding that reduces exposure and improves consistency. These systems help maintain controlled feeding conditions without disrupting colony behavior.
Material Options
HillCo feeders are built with durability and practicality in mind:
- Plastic feeders – Lightweight, easy to clean, and resistant to wear
- Wooden feeders – Traditional construction with reliable long-term use
Each option is designed for repeated seasonal use and compatibility with standard hive configurations.
