Hello Gang,
 
I placed a division board feeder into a couple of nucs
recently and found hundreds of dead bees in them.
I  had floated a deep frame end bar in the syrup to allow the
bees to walk on it and not drown. Obviously, this did
not work.
 
Is this a large enough piece of wood?
 
Should the float be nearly the same dimentions
as the feeder, allowing it to stay on the liquid
as the syrup is use up and not get hung up when
the liquid is low?
 
What do you do to prevent drowning so many bees?
