Mason jar syrup feeder for beekeeping

thingiverse

This is a quick and simple hive top syrup feeder lid. It fits a standard mason jar. Just fill the jar with sugar syrup and insert the tube through a ~1/8 inch hole in the outer cover of your beehive. I replaced my usual outer cover with a simple 1/2 inch plywood one to use while using this feeder. I got the design idea from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3443633 and tweaked it as that one didn’t make a good enough seal so it continually dripped/leaked syrup. This one does not leak as it makes a very good seal once the lid ring is tightened. I made many of these on my sculpto+ with no supports and no raft. Regular strength and fine detail settings were used for best effect.
