The 1/2 Gallon Jar and Foxhound Entrance Feeder is a redesigned entrance feeder paired with an extra-large, UV-protected plastic jar that holds more than double the syrup of a common entrance feeder. The clear jar lets you monitor syrup levels at a glance, and the step feeder design keeps bees drinking safely without drowning.
