⭐ PERFECT HOLE SAW SIZE for a Hive Top Feeder

Showing how to build a hive top feeder and letting everyone know that the correct hole saw size for a hive top feeder jar hole is 71mm. This is the size hole you'll need to cut in the hive top to allow a Ball Mason jar lid to fit snugly in the hole.
Feeding 1:1 sugar to water is great for simulating your bees to draw comb and expand their brood nest.
71mm Hole Saw with arbor: amzn.to/2Z8Zu7f
71mm Hole Saw (no arbor): amzn.to/35xlCKx
Ridgid 18 Volt 1/2" Drill: amzn.to/2YVNtlo

Thank you very much !!!

Great tip on the exact size for the hole saw. I have been sanding mine and needed to make five more tops. Looks like I can get it in two days on Amazon at the moment. ThanksQ

for the holes that you drilled that didn't work how did you fix them? Just drilled one before I found your video and now i have a lid that falls through the hole, lol.

And it is 87MM 3.4" for wide mouth mason jar. It's a tight fit, but the jar goes in all the way. Maybe you can add that in the video notes.

Good point. I've never used the wide mouth jars for feeders.

[@1stproinspection711]

Is that 71mm for the small mouth or large mouth jars?
I want to use the larger mouth jars.

[@JimWellman]

71mm for the quart size jar. So, yes, the small ones

[@JimWellman]

Not the gallon size jar.
