Having a 2-gallon plastic bucket around can be very helpful for a beekeeper. These sized buckets are most commonly used to make the top feeders or bucket feeders. These are the same pails we have available with our pre-made bucket feeders and tint plugs.
You can order our already-made feeder pails or these buckets and the tint plugs if you want to cut your own hole to make a DIY bucket feeder. Each BPA-free bucket comes with a matching lid with a gasket. These buckets and lids are both food grade and safe for use with sugar water or honey.
