All About It
When natural nectar sources are low, your bees still need a reliable source of nutrition—and the Little Giant Frame Feeder is the perfect solution. This in-hive syrup feeder is designed to take the place of one frame inside your brood box, offering a convenient and safe way to supplement your colony’s food supply.
Crafted to fit seamlessly into a 10-frame Langstroth hive (including the Little Giant 10-Frame Complete Hive), this feeder features textured interior walls and ladders that help bees access syrup easily while reducing the risk of drowning. Whether you're just starting out or managing multiple hives, this frame feeder provides a clean, effective way to support your bees when forage is scarce.
