Chimney Wooden Feeder *USED*

Designed for beekeepers looking for a sturdy and economical way to feed their colonies, this used wooden chimney feeder is an appealing option for apiaries that want a large-capacity feeder at a more accessible cost. Made from pine wood, this heavy-duty chimney feeder is built to provide a solid structure well suited to substantial feeding needs.

Its design includes a centre grill that helps prevent bees from drowning, while offering a capacity of approximately 20 L. Because wood can expand or shift depending on temperature and humidity, it is recommended to seal every inside joint before first use, either with water-based silicone or beeswax, to reduce the chances of leaks and help keep the feeder in good condition over time. As with your other wooden chimney feeders, I’m also keeping the important note that this type of feeder has already been sealed once, but it is still best to verify watertightness and reseal if needed.

All of these feeders were previously used by the honey house for 2 to 4 years and were already sealed once with water-based silicone, but the page states that most of them are due to be resealed again before use. They are sold assembled and stained dark brown. Practical, durable, and economical, these feeders are a good choice for beekeepers who want a high-capacity solution and do not mind giving the unit a bit of attention before putting it into service.
