You can also use the 'baggie method'. Essentially all this amounts to is put an empty half super over the hive...fill up a large plastic zip-loc bag with your syrup and lay it flat across the top bars. Put a couple of slits about two-three inches on each side of the top side of the plastic baggie, push your finger down to let a little syrup flow out and there you go. Check periodically to see when they need a new baggie.....the zip-loc resealable freezer baggie works well and fits just right. Of course you the put the inner lid and cover back over the empty half (or use a full if you don't have a half size) super.
