> As I feed syrup(baggies) and pollen patties directly on the top bars, I am interested in your reasons for not doing so.

Thanks for catching that.  I definitely misspoke.  I usually proof read what I write fairly carefully, but must have been in a hurry.

I do, in fact, *always* feed on the top bars of frames in *brood chambers* with brood.  

What I meant to say was that I have doubts about feeding on the top bars of *supers*.

Sorry.
