>>> I have had better luck with baggie feeders than bottle feeder when it come to feeding smaller units This appears neat but you must remove the inner cover to replace it and I have had colonies drink a quart in less than a week. Feeding through a screened inner cover, also insulated, permits rapid refill without disturbing the bees. You can also insulate the jar with a foam cover box.
