"The bees
simply didn't take the syrup, whereas all other hives with baggie feedeers
did."

I forgot to mention...there is supposed to be a 1/16"-1/8" gap between the
bottom of the Plexiglas and the bottom of the feeder.  I ran into a lot with
NO gap.  To fix this either, (1) insert a twig someplace along the bottom of
the Plexiglas or, (2) take the Plexiglas out and LIGHTLY apply a coarse
sandpaper to the bottom of the Plexiglas and remove 1/16th-1/8th.

I've done both, and either works fine.  I prefer the sandpaper as that fix
is permenent.
