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:
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.

This Poly Ashforth Feeder made using the same high density polystyrene as our poly hives. This maintains the internal temperature and helps protect the bees from adverse weather conditions.
The feeder is simple to use. The bees have access to the syrup through a hole in the bottom of the feeder, enabling them to take food efficiently. The bees enter the feeder, take food and then return to the nest which promotes the efficient distribution of food in the bee colony.
