LAST WEEK FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS IN BEE-L , I TRIED MY FIRST BAGGIE FEEDER.
THEY  TOOK TO IT IMMEDIATELY.I HAD CUT LITTLE HOLES IN THE TOP AND DESPITE
THE PRESENCE OF AN AIR BUBBLE THEY PRETTY WELL DRAINED IT IN TWO DAYS OF
RAINY WEATHER.
WHAT I DID THAT WAS DIFFERENT OR NOT DISCUSSED ,WAS THAT  I MADE A 1"DEEP
FRAME MUCH LIKE THE FRAME OF AN INNER COVER. I THEN PLACED AN INNER COVER
ABOVE  IT. THEN THE OUTER COVER. UPON OPENING IT YESTERDAY THE BEES WERE NOT
ONLY ALL OVER THE BAGGIE TOP SIDE BUT CLUSTERED ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE
INNER COVER.jUST WHAT THEY WERE DOING I AM NOT SURE.
i NOW HAVE TWPO HIVES WITH BAGGIE FEEDERS AND AM GOING TO TRY
A VERTICAL ARRANGEMENT AND SEE HOW IT WILL WORK.  PLACEING THE BAGGIE OVER
THE INNER COVER MAY WORK WELL TOO.TRYING EVERYTHING BEFORE COLD WEATHER .
KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING.
OH ABOUT INSULATION. YES I TOO HAVE USED THE GALLON  SIZED FEEDER
IN A DEEP SUPER DURING  THE WINTER WITHOUT INSULATION AND WAS NOT SURE
WHETHER THE INSULATION WAS OF ANY USE. IT DIDN'T DO ANY HARM.
