I am a new aspiring beekeeper and am wondering what method and how to
feed the bees.  I have drilled about 20 1/16" inch holes into the top of
a large mason jar but am wondering if I should put it inside the hive or
outside near the entrance. The jar seems like it would be rather tall to
fit inside the hive.

And even if I got it inside the hive i'm afraid it might tip over...
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
