Plastic Bee Feeder

A plastic square bee feeder with a 2-liter capacity is typically designed to provide an easy and efficient way to feed bees, especially during times when natural nectar sources are scarce. Here are the key features and description of such a feeder:

1. **Material**: Made from durable, food-grade plastic to ensure it is safe for bees and can withstand outdoor conditions.

2. **Shape and Size**: The feeder is square-shaped, which allows for stable placement within or on top of the hive. The dimensions are generally compact yet sufficient to hold 2 liters of feed.

3. **Capacity**: It holds up to 2 liters of liquid feed (usually a sugar-water solution), providing ample nourishment for the bees.

4. **Design Features**:
- **Lid or Cover**: A tight-fitting lid or cover to prevent contamination and reduce evaporation.
- **Feeding Tray or Mesh**: Inside, there may be a feeding tray or mesh that allows bees to access the feed without drowning.
- **Float Mechanism**: Some designs include a float mechanism to keep bees from drowning while accessing the feed.
- **Entrance Holes**: Small holes or slits that allow bees to enter and exit the feeder easily.

5. **Usage**: The feeder is easy to fill and clean. It is typically placed on top of the brood box or within a special feeder box in the hive. The transparent or semi-transparent design might allow beekeepers to monitor the feed level without opening the hive.

6. **Advantages**:
- Protects the feed from contamination and pests.
- Reduces the risk of bees drowning.
- Ensures a steady supply of food, especially during off-seasons or poor weather conditions.

This type of feeder is a practical tool for beekeepers to ensure their bees remain healthy and well-fed throughout the year.
