   Some time ago, I followed a suggestion and put water-filled, division
board feeders inside my hives to help keep the bee away from the
neighbors' backyards.
   The water in the feeders gets to smelling like old gray water (mild
sewage). Any suggestions?
    (I also get a surprise when I tip up the top box without lifting off
the inner cover and slosh water out of the feeder.)
