Richard,
When it is cold I feed in the  hive with a wooden hive top feeder, but when
it is warm I will set up a feeder a hundred feet or so from the hives and
feed everybody at once. That said, just remember to not let it run dry if
there is a nectar dearth because it can set off robbing.
If you have several hives at that location, they will really get after it;
I have seen them take a couple gallons of sugar water in two hours.
Be prepared for the enormous cloud of bees around the feeder.
