David,

does your lid have an entrance? My migratory lids have one so I have to make sure to mark which end its on and make sure that entrance is closed. Thats how i have goofed in the past.

I have been using a Beemax top hive feeder periodically over the last few years, and it has worked well.

I started feeding my bees again last month. I recently looked in the feeder, and it was filled with well over a hundred drowned bees. This has never happened to me before with this feeder.

Anyone have any ideas why this has happened?

Thanks.
