 This is a two frame version, of the hive above, that was made to take along when doing bee talks. The entrance, feeder and second deep brood frame were omitted. |
 Here is how one feeder for the observation hive was made. An entrance feeder, that can be purchased for under $2 from any supplier, was used as a template. Do away with the metal lip that fits into the hive entrance and just make it square/flat on all sides. Oak was used for the wood pieces that the tin gets stapled/nailed to and a 3/4" hole drilled at the bottom center on the side where it meets the hive. Attach feeder with screws from underneath. |
