Hi Dave:

My hives are in groups of five on rails that are tilted slightly to the
front so that moisture accumulating in the winter will run out. The tilt
causes the syrup to run to the front as well. Putting the feeding station
toward the front enables the bees to drain the syrup completely.



                                    Best regards
