Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom Feeder Insert with Aluminum Mesh

Product Description

The Mini Plus Styropor® Universal Bottom Feeding Insert with Aluminum Mesh is a practical addition to the Mini Plus Styropor system and enables clean, space-saving feeding directly through the universal bottom. The insert is inserted into the designated openings in the bottom and used together with the aluminum ventilation grid to ensure your nucleus colonies remain reliably ventilated.

In practice, you use the feeding insert for liquid feed such as syrup or feed dough without having to add additional hive top feeders. The insert is therefore ideal for nuclei, spare queens, and small Mini Plus colonies that you want to manage compactly.

  • Lightweight Hartpor polystyrene for good insulation and easy handling
  • Flexible use in the Mini Plus System for nuclei and Queen Rearing
  • Quick retrofitting of existing universal bottoms as colonies grow

Conclusion on the Mini Plus universal bottom feeding insert

The Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom feeding insert with aluminum grid is a well-designed addition for anyone who wants to feed their Mini Plus nuclei compactly while ensuring reliable ventilation. This helps you maintain order and control within the system, especially in Queen Rearing and with reserve colonies.

Holtermann Practical Tip: For safe shipping or transport with the feed chamber in place, we recommend securely gluing the feed insert in place using ApiDana® hive glue. This ensures the insert stays firmly in place even during vibrations, preventing feed loss through the bottom.
