Bee Waterer for Mason Jar (Yellow)

It repels bees. Does not fit on 2.5" Mason jar. Is so shallow that all of the water drains out of the jar at the slightest angle. Can't pick it up, because the feeding part falls off. UPDATE; Tried it. When the bees empty it, they go inside the jar looking for more. The first time I used it, I found several bees inside the jar, some drowned. The second time I used it, I found dozens of drowned bees completely covering the bottom. It may have wiped out the lion's share of a swarm. Retired it immediately. A floating sponge in a bowl works much better.

We have been in the market for a sugar water feeder for our bee colonies so they can have easy access to food in the winter. But all of the feeders we have purchased in the past have too big of a hole where the water drains into the pad, and the bees crawl up it and die. However, this feeder is amazing. Super easy to clean and install and the bees cannot crawl inside it. The divots in the green drain part are small enough they cannot drown either. Seriously, this is the best bee feeder we have ever bought. We love it so much we bought a second one so when the colonies for our almond trees come around they have enough food too to get from orchard to orchard. Great product.

Works good and you can put different size jars if more suryp is needed. Except there needs to be a screen in outlet holes to keep bees from entering jars and some die. Works really good for larger colonies by changing jars size, bees love the large feeding area. CAUTION: keep it level or suryp will spill over feeding area and attract ants.

I bought one of these, notices the holes was to big, the sugar water just ran out. I grabbed some alien tape which is ver sticky and flexible to cover up part of the top part of the holes, then it will create a vacuum to hold. One the plus side, I haven't lost one bee to drowning. So I bought a second one and cover part of the holes. I am making 2:1 sugar water and they really take it down! If you purchase you'll need to make some adjustments to it. Maybe the manufacturer can fix this!!

I like it...available to the pollinators. So far, I have only seen squirrels drink from the base. j
