Has any one made their own Ashford feeders, if so, what have you done to seal the wood

Thank you Patrick, this is one of the reasons I want to make my own, so I can dictate size.

Surely the bees will only take feed until they have filled their requirements regardless of feeder type ? The insulation of this feeder will prevent it being warmed from the brood area so it won't be really any warmer than the ambient temps. I have never had any issues using my home made wooden feeders. I am not sure what you mean ?Chrisbarlow wrote: ↑01 Sep 2019, 16:42I've got some already and they're great, it's a shame they only 10litres but the thing that stands out for me is the bees take syrup from them for longer than any other feeder. However, I would still like to make my own.
