Plastic Half-Gallon Feeder Jar

This half-gallon jar is twice the size of the typical feeder jar most beekeepers use, so you make fewer refill trips while it still fits properly in an entrance feeder.

Key Features

• UV inhibitor added to the plastic so it doesn't break down in the sun
• Holds 8¾ cups (70 fl oz) of syrup
• Thick walls prevent flexing in the sun and keep the width compatible with entrance feeder bases
• Wide rim creates a better seal with plastic or metal lids
• Textured hexagon walls improve grip when twisting the lid
• Transparent, food-grade plastic — easy to check syrup level from a distance, safe for bees
• Fits 70mm lids (standard mason jar or 2-piece lid)

Why the UV Inhibitor Matters

Each jar is molded with a UV protectant, which keeps the plastic from turning brittle in the sun and helps prevent the syrup inside from fermenting or growing bacteria.
