Many years of observations of bee behaviour inside the bee nest helped us to create the Dadant feeder with a capacity 7.5 liters. Our solution takes full advantage of the thermal conditions of the hive. The feeder is mounted directly on the body, without the need to install additional devices. Thanks to this, the bee food inside of the feeder is being heated with the heat which is generated by the bee colony.
The innovative solutions also includes 4 additional chambers, placed in each corner of the feeder. Thanks to reduced surface, the chambers heat up faster due to the activity of the bees. As a result, the syrup does not stay at the bottom, and the food maintains the right temperature, making it more attractive to the bees. This is especially important when trying to balance the hive, as the body gradient does not influence the availability and temperature of the syrup inside the device.
The proprietary technology is based on utilizing natural conditions within the hive, making it less dependent on weather conditions outside. Additionally, specially designed multi sticks in the corners facilitate easier movement for bees, enabling them to collect food more efficiently. Moreover, they protect the bees from drowning.
When supplying the feeder, it is crucial to ensure that the syrup level does not exceed the height of the inner wall of the lowest corner sump.
The feeder is made entirely of high-quality plastic, ensuring durability and easy cleaning using hot water. Utilizing this type of feeder in the apiary significantly improves the quality of the process of feeding bee colonies, while maintaining a hygienic work environment and food safety.
