Glad they work for you. They don't for everybody. Sure can't beat the
convenience, though. Perhaps that will encourage more feeding, when the
other ways might cause one to put it off.
Question: A lot of folks are claiming to be a hobbiest lately. Is that
the superlative form of hobbyist? ;-)
We have a lot of superlative beekeepers on the list, including Busy
Knight. Thanks for your posts.
To all the list: As spring moves north, I'd like to see more posts on
what is blooming in your area, and what is going on with the bees. Sometimes
one particular flower is quite important in one area, but not so in others.
