Three devices for feeding mandaçaia bee, for easy handling and efficiency use: Eiratama, Pernambucano and Prato, were evaluated. Five devices for treatment and 15 colonies total were used, testing the collect capacity and time spent to total consumption. The Prato device showed mean consumption of 13.55 mL, being higher than the others. For feeding mandaçaia bee, the Prato type was the most efficient.
