Ernest wonders how to keep bees from drowning in a division board feeder.  I
have found two methods that work well:
 
1. Cut a piece of hardware cloth (grid size does not matter) a little less
than twice the size of the feeder.  Bend it in half, and place it inside the
feeder.  You can leave it there forever.
2. Buy one of the new plastic in-hive feeders.  These have the inside
 roughened  so the bees can always get out.  They are made by Mother Lode
Plastics and Mann Lake, and almost all dealers sell them.
