Bee feeders frame syrups are produced in plastic, wood, and metal, but the plastic-type is more commonly used. If the syrup is made using wooden boards, we must cover all the seams and holes that may be on the surface of the product with molten wax or paraffin before use.

As you can see in the picture, the bees feeder frame dishes are made in such a way that they take up to 2 frames from the inside of the hive and are often attached to the side edge of the hive.

Most beekeepers use beeswax syrup when they need to feed large numbers of bees. These dishes are also used when beehives are visited frequently and dry sugar is used to feed the bees.

Disadvantages of this product include the possibility of honey bees drowning in the syrup frame. That’s why most beekeepers use metal mesh nets or wood chips in the syrup to prevent the bees from drowning in the syrup.

Also, some beekeepers solve this problem by using a plastic V-shaped mesh and a piece of cut wood that floats on the syrup. However, in the new series of syrups produced by Takata Baft Company, the diving of the walls of the containers prevent the bees from drowning.

bee feeders frame syrup containers are not recommended for the stimulant feeding of bees because they can cause anxiety. On the other hand, the use of these plastic containers in the honey hive occupies a maximum of 2 frames of the hive, and this is one of its disadvantages. In this case, we suggest using a small amount of syrup to stimulate the bees inside the hive.
