Top 10 Best bee feeders for hives in 2026

Main highlights

• •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 chances of fermenting syrup. With thicker walls than the average plastic jar, our feeder promises durability, longevity, and many years of usage.
