Thanks for your info on baggie feeder practice. I presume that the slits you
cut are on the top side of the baggies. Please advise if so.
 
I strated my first one last week with punctures rather than slits and was
amazes how quickly the bees accepted it.
 
In previous New England inters I have used 1 gallon containers In a deep
super with lots of newspaper for interior insulation.With the baggies in a
shallow super I should be able to get quite a wide spread of accessable bag
surface .WIll try some measurements tomorrow. Since the bags are flexible the
ddanger of spilling is minimized. People have warned me that the changes in
temperature can cause bottles to leak on warm days and make a damp hive.I
guess that this is less likelyu to happen with baggies. What do you think.?
Gosh here it is July 31 and I'm thinking of winter already !!
