KAGZ Hive Top Bee Feeder for 10-Frame Hives — 1.5 Gal Clear Cover with Anti-Drowning Sponges

The KAGZ Hive Top Bee Feeder is a 1.5-gallon, clear-covered Langstroth-compatible feeder that lets you supply syrup or water from the hive top while monitoring levels and protecting bees from drowning.

Designed for 10-frame Langstroth supers, this hive-top feeder combines a transparent outer lid for quick syrup checks, a sealed body to minimize leaks and intrusion, and twin sponge rings to keep bees safe around liquid. Built from durable seamless plastic, it fits neatly between the outer cover and the brood box so you can feed without opening the hive and disturbing your colony.

How does the clear cover make feeding easier?

The upgraded transparent cover lets you see syrup or water levels at a glance, eliminating repeated hive openings and unnecessary disruption. Visual monitoring saves time and helps you plan refills before the feeder runs dry.

• Clear outer lid for instant level checks
• Refill without removing the feeder in many hive setups
• Reduces stress on the colony by limiting inspections

What prevents bees from drowning in this feeder?

Two anti-drowning sponge rings sit inside the inner lid and provide a textured, absorbent barrier so bees can access liquid without falling into the reservoir. The sponges are made from safe materials and are easily replaced or cleaned between uses.

• Two sponge rings included for added surface area
• Mounts inside inner lid to separate bees from the liquid
• Sponge material designed for simple removal and maintenance

Will this feeder fit my 10-frame hive and how large is the capacity?

The feeder measures approximately 15.5 x 13 x 3 inches and is sized to sit on top of 10-frame Langstroth supers. With a 1.5-gallon (6 L) capacity, it reduces refill frequency so you spend less time servicing the hive.

• Fits standard 10-frame Langstroth configurations
• 1.5 gallons (6 liters) holds more syrup between visits
• Low-profile design integrates under the outer cover

Is the KAGZ feeder durable and simple to use year-round?

The feeder is molded from seamless, sturdy plastic built to resist cracking and leaks while keeping food protected from pests. It’s suited for seasonal feeding strategies: liquid in warm months and granular options in colder periods, and the transparent inner lid helps refill without wide-open hive exposure.

• Seamless plastic for long service life and leak resistance
• Closed design keeps syrup shielded from ants and wasps
• Works with liquid or dry feeding methods depending on season

Who is this for? Beekeepers who manage 10-frame Langstroth hives and want a low-maintenance, visible feeding solution will benefit most. Whether you’re maintaining feeding through nectar dearths, supporting new colonies, or simply reducing the number of hive inspections, this feeder suits hobbyists and small-scale producers who prefer a practical, safe, and easy-to-monitor top-feeding option.
