I use zip-lock baggies in my hive top feeders when I use them but now a days
I just use the baggy method when I feed.

Here are two URL's that show and describe the baggy method;

I used to use hive top feeders but found them a hassle and to high
maintenance. Use them if you like to but, in my opinion, I would put a
zip-lock baggy in them and not even worry about sealing them.
