Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for providing hanging feeder frame for a hive box, with a clear lid for monitoring food syrup inside with the lid being easily removed or attached by clip edges to the hanging feeder frame. The hanging feeder can include uniform diameter tubes that attach to inner sides of the frame to add stability to the frame. The hanging feeder can include a float system in the tubes to restrict access to the syrup so that the bees have a safe and easy access to their food supplies.

Abstract: A bee feeder system includes a bee house having a plurality of levels. One of the levels includes a bee feeder having a frame with a top major surface and a bottom major surface. The frame surrounds a central opening and a feeder pipe extends across the central opening. The feeder pipe has a distal section that extends along a longitudinal axis and that includes feeder holes formed therein. A divider covers the central opening for separating the top major surface of the frame from the bottom major surface of the frame. The feeder pipe has a proximal section that extends outside the frame. A feed container is attached to the proximal section of the feeder pipe for supplying feed to the distal section of the feeder pipe. The feeder pipe is rotatable relative to the frame for moving between an ON position in which the feeder holes face toward the bottom major face of the frame and an OFF position in which the feeder holes face toward the top major face of the frame.

Abstract: A hive for feeding bees includes features to provide multiple configurations based on the needs of the bees. The hive includes side ports that use glass plates and port covers to allow access to the interior of the hive without unnecessarily disturbing the bees. The hive also uses a top bar configuration to promote bee health and productivity. The hive also includes hive ends to receive feeding assemblies that provide materials to the bees without disturbing the interior of the hive.

Abstract: A disposable, biodegradable beehive which comprises an enclosure of wax-coated cardboard. The enclosure includes an opening to allow the bees to enter or exit the beehive and a closure for the opening. Small ventilation holes, relative to the size of a bee, are provided to allow air to circulate. A plurality of cardboard layers are fitted to the bottom of the enclosure with a section of the layers removed to form a nest pocket or a dry feed pocket. A float feeder is attached to the enclosure with the feeder element internal to the enclosure, while the main body of the feeder is external to the enclosure to allow the feeder to be supplied with external liquid feed.
