A bee feeder system includes a bee house having multiple stacked levels. One of the levels includes a bee feeder having a frame with a central opening and a feeder pipe extending across the central opening. The feeder pipe has a distal section including spaced feeder holes and a proximal section that extends outside the frame. A bee food container is attached to the proximal section of the feeder pipe. The feeder pipe is rotatable relative to the frame for moving between an on position in which the feed container is above the distal section of the feeder pipe and the feeder holes face toward a bottom major face of the frame and an off position in which the feed container is below the distal section of the feeder pipe and the feeder holes face toward a top major face of the frame.

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.

A bee feeding apparatus having labyrinthine passages. The apparatus is useful for dispensing water, bee feeding supplements, or treatments to wild or domesticated bees. The circuitous entryway hinders or inhibits other insects such as wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets from entering the innermost regions of the feeder and accessing the bee feeding supplements.

The invention relates to a multi-use beehive, which consists of a base (1), a deck (2), an inner supplier (3), a queen partition (22) and a lid (4). The base (1) has spacers (7), flying boards (8) for the bees and a perforated floor (12). The deck (2) consists of two parts (14), (15) with an inner insulation (18) and a connection flange (5). The inner supplier (3) has a pan (25) and grid (26) for receiving liquid and solid feed respectively, while the queen partition (22) allows accommodation of the queen. Finally, the lid (4) has also an insulation (18) and aeration ports (6). The beehive is made of plastic and its parts comprise holes for the assemblying thereof by means of pins (19).

A portable water feeder for collecting rain water for bees, butterflies and many other uses has a vessel in which rain water is collected. A filter removes impurities from the rain water and a wind-powered agitator maintains the water in motion to minimize the build-up of algae. A valve controls the quantity of water which flows from the vessel to a watering station where the water is available for use.
