The National Poly Hive Ashforth Feeder is a practical, versatile feeder designed for use with both syrup and fondant. It is compatible with National Poly Hives and standard National Wooden Hives measuring 460 x 460mm.

With a generous 10-litre capacity, the feeder is ideal for providing syrup during periods when your bees require additional feeding.

During the winter months, the Ashforth feeder can also be turned upside down and placed over a block of fondant. This helps create a more sheltered and warmer feeding area above the colony, making it easier for the bees to access their food in colder conditions.

Key Features:

• Suitable for feeding both syrup and fondant
• 10-litre syrup capacity
• Compatible with National Poly and Wooden Hives – 460 x 460mm
• Can be inverted over fondant during winter feeding
• Metal grille helps provide controlled access for the bees
• Durable and practical design for year-round use

Important: Keep the sliding opening on top of the metal grille closed at all times while feeding. Once feeding has finished, the opening can be used to allow the bees access to clean out the feeder.

Please note: Due to the nature of the material and manufacturing process, the feeder may have occasional scuffs, marks or minor cosmetic imperfections. These do not affect the performance or usability of the product.
