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. Bob Young Lindale,TX
