Yes and too much of it would just run down over the bees. The above is based upon my experience. I feel that they are a great way to feed them and it is easy to do a quick check to see if they need more & they are quite easy to replace quickly. I am sure that you will probably get some more responses on baggies. Keeps the syrup nice and warm inside the hive and you don't need a full super such as you would if you were using some sort of inverted jar setup.
