Why are hives each fed with an individual feeder as opposed to having say
a 5 gallon bucket of feed for every few hives hanging nearby. You could
even have some hardware cloth of the proper size to keep bumble bees and
birds from drinking it. It seems it would be a lot more efficient in both
time & money to refill 1 5gallon bucket rather than 5 1 gallon buckets.
