I captured a swarm (cast) last week and put them in my only deep hive body
with new foundation and a screened bottom board.  This is all I have right
now. There is no flow on now so I started to feed them.  The 1:1 syrup has
dripped through the hive and through the screen.  This has attracted my othe
8 hives to the bottom of the hive being fed and has caused robbing.  I will
move the new hive tonight to stop this.
  Now, my question is;  what would happen if I set up a feeding station about
50 or so meters from all of my hives?  Would they all feed there or would I
cause other problems?  They all water at the same pond and I am sure that the
bees in the clover are not all from the same hive.  What do ya'll think?
