A bee nutrition device is configured with a frame positionable between the brood chamber and honey super components of a stacked bee hive. Fondant and/or water or nurturing liquid is positionable within trays located within a recess located with a sidewall of the frame of the device. Access into and out of the recess for bees can be regulated by a translating member having openings therein which can be selectively aligned with the central opening communicating through the bottom surface of the frame.

An apparatus and method for feeding bees is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a fluid tray member, a sheet, and a regulating valve. The fluid tray member is configured to hold a fluid for feeding the bees. The sheet is detachably attached on the fluid tray member via a magnetic strip. The regulating valve attached to the sheet is configured to maintain the level of the fluid. The regulating valve is attached to the sheet via a fastener. The sheet further comprises an inlet tube, a plurality of cavities, and a handle enable a user to position the apparatus to a desired location. The fluid is received via the inlet tube into the fluid tray member. The sheet provides a flat surface around the cavities to support each of the bees while feeding the fluid.

A remote monitoring system and a method of remotely monitoring a feed environment that can sense feed stored within a filled container. The remote monitoring system can be configured to determine a distance between a level sensor and a top feed surface of the feed and to wirelessly send feed level data and, optionally, environmental data, to a communication device of a user.

The Bee-All Inner Cover Feeder provides beekeepers with the ability to monitor and feed bee colonies with minimal intrusion into the hive and provides protection of the pollen substitute and sugar water from predator insects and other bees. These features make the Bee-All Inner Cover Feeder unique in the field of beekeeping. The previously unavailable feeder cartridge approach combines the provision of pollen substitute and sugar water to the hive without opening the hive lid, and places the feed deep within the hive, accessible only to that colony of bees. The Bee-All Inner Cover Feeder is a simple but revolutionary delivery system for pollen substitute and sugar water which minimizes intrusion into the hive, protects the feed from other insects, and saves beekeeper time and effort. Taken together, these benefits increase the health and productivity of the bee colonies.
