Sure, i've been to Dave's and seen it in practice, using wet newspaper.  You 
can also read about it on BeeSource where it is called the Mountain Camp 
Method.  It works in the south, but has drawbacks in the north.  I would 
never use it.

And Dave Green quit using it after awhile, in favor of division board 
feeders. It was mainly an emergency thing. 500 lbs of sugar at Big Lots was 
a whole lot cheaper and more usable then, than a tractor-trailer load of 
HFCS.

-Bad new, though, when the sheriff's deputy pulls you over for half a load 
of mason jars, and half a load of bag sugar. I never could be sure if the 
feds were watching and the locals wanted to look good, or if I hadn't put in 
my contribution to the Sheriff's fund.

Was that the year I was contemplating feeding salvage Nutra-Sweet?
