Getting there

I couldn't find a small drink bottle to fit the thread on the feeder, so had to use a 1.25 litre one. I have tied a string round the bottle and tied it round the hive after fitting. Each time, the top of the circular part of the feeder has come loose and I have lost some of the syrup before I could clip it back in. The bees love it though!

Preparation Guide - Feeders

Inspecting the Beekeeping Feeder
Before using a beekeeping feeder, start by inspecting it thoroughly for any signs of mildew, mold, or remnants of old sugar syrup. These contaminants can harm your bees if not properly cleaned. Disassemble the feeder if possible, so all parts can be cleaned thoroughly, including corners and crevices where residues might accumulate.

Cleaning the Feeder
Wash the feeder with warm, soapy water, using a scrub brush to remove any buildup of mold, mildew, or old syrup. Rinse it thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains, as this could contaminate the fresh sugar syrup. For stubborn stains or mold, a mild bleach solution can be used, but be sure to rinse well afterward to avoid any harmful chemical residues.

Drying and Preparing for Use
After cleaning, allow the feeder to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. This step is crucial to prevent moisture from encouraging the growth of mold or mildew. Once fully dry, reassemble the feeder and fill it with fresh sugar syrup, ensuring it is clean and ready to provide safe nourishment for your bees.

Making Sugar Syrup
To make sugar syrup for bees, you will need the following ingredients and equipment.
