You can also use the 'baggie method'. Essentially all this amounts
to is put an empty half super over the hive...fill up a large plastic
zip-loc bag with your syrup and lay it flat across the top bars. Put
a couple of slits about two-three inches on each side of the top
side of the plastic baggie, push your finger down to let a little syrup
flow out and there you go. Check periodically to see when they need
a new baggie.....the zip-loc resealable freezer baggie works well
and fits just right. Of course you the put the inner lid and cover
back over the empty half (or use a full if you don't have a half size)
super.
