Boardman Entrance Feeder

Mann Lake Ltd - Feeding-Systems

Overview

Simple entrance-mount feeder using a standard inverted mason jar. Used for syrup feeding during early spring buildup or dearth periods. The Boardman feeder sits at the hive entrance and allows feeding without opening the hive, reducing disturbance. Practical for supplemental feeding across many hives quickly. Not ideal for large-volume syrup delivery; internal hive-top feeders provide higher volume capacity.
