Description

This Plastic half-gallon jar is twice the size of the typical feeder jar used by most beekeepers, allowing beekeepers to make less visits to refill syrup jars but still able to fit in an entrance feeder. We have designed this jar specifically for beekeepers to meet the unique needs of the average backyard beekeeper. UV inhibitor added to the plastic so it doesn't break down Holds 8 3/4 cups of syrup or 70 fluid ounces Thick walls so to prevent the plastic from flexing in the sun Wide rim to create a better seal on the plastic or metal lid Textured hexagon walls to provide better grip when twisting Holds slightly more than 1/2 gallon which means less trips to refill Transparent, food grade plastic so it's easy to see and safe for bees The walls of the jars are thick and durable, ensuring the jar can be used for years but the total width of the jar does not interfere with sliding the boardman feeder into the entrance. The mouth is wide enough to be filled with syrup easily and fits a typical small mouth jar like the two-piece lids used on a Mason jar. Unlike some feeder jars, our jar is transparent so you can see the syrup level in the jar from a distance. Each jar is molded with a UV protectant to keep the plastic from becoming brittle in the sun and to keep the syrup from fermenting or growing bacteria inside the jar. 1/2 GALLON JAR AND FOXHOUND ENTRANCE FEEDER: Introducing our revamped entrance feeder featuring an upgraded feeder and a half-gallon jar. Beloved by beekeepers, the extra-large jar seamlessly integrates with our Foxhound Entrance Feeders. With transparency in focus, this clear jar facilitates easy monitoring of syrup levels and simple refilling through the large lid. CAPACITY AND CONVENIENCE: Our entrance feeder boasts a 2-quart+ or half-gallon+ jar, over twice the size of typical feeders, holding 8.75 cups of syrup. This minimizes refill trips, streamlining beekeeping. The plastic build ensures easy cleaning and simplified lid removal compared to traditional glass Mason jars. INTELLIGENT DESIGN: Our step feeder is intelligently designed to insert into the entrance of an entrance feeder, allowing bees to walk in and drink from the lid holes. It also doubles as an internal hive feeder when placed inside an empty box. LEAKAGE FREE AND SAFE: Our unique design eliminates common issues such as bees drowning and feeder leakage. The large jar fits the Boardman feeder base perfectly, while the vacuum pressure within the jar prevents syrup leakage. The inverted jar is sealed with a tight-fitting, perforated lid, preventing any syrup from dripping through the holes. DURABILITY AND LONGEVITY: These jars are manufactured with a UV protectant additive, preventing the plastic from becoming brittle and reducing the chance of mold growth inside the jar. With thicker walls than the average plastic jar, our feeder promises durability, longevity, and many years of usage.
