Detailed Description

This 4-gallon white open-head square plastic pail is designed for versatility in the bee yard or honey house. It serves as an excellent bottling bucket or sugar syrup dispenser, thanks to its smart square design. Unlike round buckets, the square sides provide a lower chance of dripping when a honey gate is installed (hole not pre-drilled).

The bucket comes with a snap-on lid that features a tear-strip seal, creating an airtight closure ideal for safe storage or shipping. The lid can be removed by hand when needed, making it convenient for repeated use.

Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the most commonly used resin in food-safe plastics, this bucket is both economical and reliable. HDPE provides good impact resistance, withstands temperatures up to 145°F, and is #2 recyclable for environmentally responsible use.
