I have used baggie feeders in Indiana in the middle of winter as fumidal B
feed when a hive has developed nosema. I have also used them as emergency
feeders. I use a dental pick to poke small holes in the baggie on one side
only. I increased the number if needed. I have found 5-6 holes is usually
enough and have not had problems with the bags emptying too fast.
I just put them on top on the hive bars or on top of the inner cover. I
really prefer the top hive bars. Of course you can change the configuration
by changing the size of the baggie. I prefer the freezer type bags because
they are thicker.
The system worked well for me.
