How much did you put in the feeders and how much did they take each time? 1 litre of water plus one kg of sugar (everything well mix before hand in hot water, then left to cool, the orego-stim was add at the end). It really atracts bees and ants. Which type of top feeder do you use? similar to this one . http://bobsbeekeeping.com.au/uploads/images/products/Bee%20Top%20Feeder.JPG It has two thumb size holes in the space you can not see. -- Juanse Barros J.
