if you just have one hive in the back garden or close to home with easy inspection access, you can get way with a £5 2lt rapid round feeder,, you may in the weeks you are feeding need to top it up twice a week but if you are new you would problably feel you want to see how your bees are feeding anyway
a larger feeder like thornes ashworth , larger rapid green plastic feeders by maisemore and park Bees or thornes, vacuum formed drop in feeders are ok for autumn fed when you have a large number of hives and are feeding gallons of feed at a time but these have their disadvantage such as mouldy feed, overfeeding and spills of syrup moving large unstable containers
but in the first year the amount of feeding depends on lots of other factors 1] standard or 14x12 brood 2} date you get your Nuc 3] nectar flow in your area 4] amount of honey you take off
a beginner on our site has all the kit and is running a July nuc in a 14x12 and has only needed to feed 4ltr of syrup to bring it to yate's recomended weight another on standard brood and 15lbs of honey taken off has already fed 8ltrs
