We have filled them by hand for the last few years, but with the growing client and chore list it is high time to automate. I have seen some pictures of what looked like an electric caulking gun and heard stories about a heated tip. Anybody have suggestions on how to automate or speed the process up?
The plastic tube that inserts into the California mini cages. The three holes are fill by hand for sure, but most of our queens go in a battery box with attendants on the outside of the mini cages with each cage plugged with a candy tube...pretty standard operating procedure.
Thanks Bees4U. I can quite reverse engineer from that picture, but it does look convenient. Filling them by hand gets old pretty fast. What do the rest of you do?
