Bee sugar syrup top feeder from generic plastic container

thingiverse

A customizable thing to convert generic plastic trays or boxes to syrup top feeders using some additional scrap wood. Use a hole saw to make a hole in some scrap wood. The coupling should be set to fit the hole exactly, then it should lock itself in place. The bees can go up to the syrup and the holes in the bridge form a ladder to allow the syrup to enter the bridge and at the same time avoid drowning of the bees. Because of the small size it allows only a few bees at a time, so it is only suited for emergency feeding. This type of feeder is easy to refill without having bees on the loose and/or opening the hive. Since it is customizable it should fit almost any type of plastic container.
