I recently purchased Baggie feeders . They work very well and best of all no
robbing, no jars, and no drowned bees. A baggie feeder is a super approximately
2 deep placed on the hive under the inner cover. 1 gallon baggies are filled
with 3 qts syrup and then placed directly over the cluster. 2 two inch slits
are then made in the baggiesand a small amount is squeezed out onto the cluster
so that they know it is there. A strong colony will empty them in short order.
I haven t tried it but I think an empty 5 3/4 super would work just as well.
