I have tried division feeders, glass boardman feeders and baggies. The gallon
glass jars on a stand is the best for me. WIth the baggies some of the bees
get inside and drown a,same for the  division board.  Any large an\mount of
spilled honey also leads to drowning. Fortunately I have a good source of
glass or plastic restaurant gallon containers. They seem to work best for me.
The Boardman feeders although alright most of the time seemed to become a
target for racoons.  The bottles ended up quite a way from the hive and were
hard to find. One or two broke.
