Description

 

The BeeBox Beehive Top Feeder for the Paradise Honey 4Q NUC and Mating Beehive, is the result of 40 years of beekeeping and development experience on the biggest beekeeping operation in Scandinavia. The feeder is made of food grade, extra hardened, expanded polystyrene (EPS) with a density of over 100 kg/m³. 

In proper use, the feeder will easily last several decades. This Top Feeder will hold 8.5 litres of sugar syrup and is designed to sit on top of the hive and under the hive top. Its specifically designed with the Q4 NUC and Mating hive in mind where, when used in conjunction with the Q4 NUC and Mating body/box and dividers, it forces bees to remain separate even during feeding to ensure that the queens do not mix between zoned compartments.

It shares the same profile as the 8 Frame, Q4 hive body giving it a precise interlocked fit. It has a clear perspex cover over the access canal, enabling the beekeeper to inspect the bees collecting the syrup without disturbing the beehive. The feeder is an excellent method of feeding honeybees whether they be new colonies requiring sugar syrup to draw new comb or overwintering bees that are short on stores.

NOTE: This 8 Frame sized feeder also fits the 9 Frame size Paradise so can act as a 9 frame feeder.

Preparation Guide of Paradise Honey Beehives

Assembling the Polystyrene Beehive with Wood Glue/Adhesive
To assemble a Paradise honey polystyrene beehive, first lay out all the components and ensure they fit together correctly. Apply a high-quality, waterproof wood glue or adhesive to the joints and edges of the polystyrene pieces. Press the parts together firmly, wiping away any excess glue, and allow them to dry completely according to the adhesive’s recommended curing time.

Securing the Hive for Stability
After gluing, ensure the beehive structure is stable and aligned correctly. If needed, use clamps or weights to hold the pieces in place while the glue dries. Double-check that all connections are secure and that the hive is square and level, as any misalignment could affect the hive's functionality and durability.

Painting with UV Water-Based Exterior Paint
Once the hive assembly is complete and the glue has fully dried, apply a UV-protective, water-based exterior paint to the inside and outside of the beehive. This paint will shield the polystyrene from sunlight and weather damage on the outside and stop bees potentially attempting to nibble the interior. Use smooth, even strokes using a short 100mm foam roller to cover the entire surface, applying at least two coats for optimal protection. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before adding the next, and ensure the hive is fully dry before placing it outdoors.
