> Could you explain how the side is not the top???

When you place the baggie across the top bars, it lays down on its side.
The top and bottom of the bag has less surface area than the front or back
side, hence the bag naturally lays down on its side.  Whether it lays on the
front or backside is depends on whether you say poTAto or poTATo.  You cut
the slit in the side opposite the one that lays on the top bars.  The thing
most important to remember is only fill the bag 2/3 to 3/4 full or the syrup
will leak out onto your bees.

Searching the archinves on "baggie feeder" yields 42 hits, where it is
explained quite well.  Search BEE-L archives at:
