Best type of feeder for a new hive of bees.greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread |
What is the best type of feeder for a new hive. I've got hive entrance(Boardman) feeders, but I was wondering if there is a better way.

My mom's boyriend has raised honey bees for many years and all he ever used to feed his bees, was in the spring he would put sugar water in a five gallon pale and they would just help themselves. This would keep them fed until the flower season was in peak and they could get their own food.
