Contact Bucket Feeder

3 sizes. ¼ gallon, ½ gallon, 1 gallon. A white plastic bucket with a 3” phosphor bronze mesh disc is sealed into the centre of the lid. Fill with sugar to about 1” from the top and add warm water. Stir to mix and release air trapped in the sugar. Continue until fully dissolved. Add more water until the feeder is completely full. Press lid on firmly and securely and quickly invert the feeder. Place over the feed hole of the crownboard on the hive. Inside the feeder a vacuum forms so the sugar solution remains in the feeder until the bees feed through the mesh.
