I use these almost exclusively and frame feeders for some special cases. I always run a little syrup down onto the frames to help the bees find the source. Usually the feeders are empty within a few days, if not, they probably have no room for the new stores. I find that they don't go up if its too cold. Make sure your feeding's done before the weather breaks. Regards, -- Gordon Scott [log in to unmask] Compuserve 100332,3310 [log in to unmask] Basingstoke Beekeeper [log in to unmask]
