Not crazy about that,  Tried it,  Now we tip them right at the entrance.   Very common since I run singles to have a LOT of nurse bees in supers.  They leave clusters of lost bees if you get too far away.



Understand the 2 cycle problems.   Stihl has been great.  Never have issues with starting with them.  For some reason the blowers are even more reliable than the weedeaters.    Had 3 over the years and they have all been a joy to use.  Biggest complaint is they don’t stand up well in the yard,  they want to roll over for some reason!
