Hi guys, Being a newbie beek, initial outlays of money for equipment can be never-ending, so being creative (as well as mean (according to husband)), I'm always looking at ways of saving money as well as upcycling items!!!
Anyway, after acquiring some food grade plastic containers which have superb tight lids, I set about making some contact feeders ready for the autumn time. They took about 3 minutes and literally pence to make (took longer waiting for the glue gun to warm up!!) and once cured, filled, sealed and turn upside down.... they're PERFECT.
Hope my little girls appreciate how practical their Mum is!!
Hope you like my pictures. Sorry to seem boasting, but I am rather chuffed and planning to make hive parts too, although I have already made an eke!!!
