Hey Randy,
This is Catherin Guerrero. I helped you and Chris do the remove the hive yesterday. My experience with the top feeder is, "if you fill it, they will come." Mine will go through whatever I put in there pretty quickly depending on whether anything else is available. I just meter the sugar water myself and check to make sure they aren't filling up the brood area with it.
Thanks for the pictures!
Catherine

Folks,
Just got a top feeder on Saturday. Last night I put 10 pounds of
sugar and 10 pounds of water in it (heated up together and
cooled). This morning most of it is gone, seems every bee in the
hive is under the screen feeding! So am I doing this wrong, is the
feeder leaking this was maybe 7 days worth of feeding with my
boardman feeder. Or will the feeder slow down after a while?
I help Chris Richmond and Catherine ? remove a hive in a chapel
yesterday, photos and details on my blog.
Cheers,
Randy Emmitt
