Not having any luck finding gal. glass jars for feeding.
Asked at a few different places yesterday and it seems they have all
gone to plastic containers.
Anyone have any ideas where to find glass gallon jars free or reasonable.
Saw a gal. cracker jar w/lid on amazon but it would cost $20 plus to get one here , ouch.
I've gone to hive top feeders. FatBeeMan has a great plan for one that doesn't leak AND the bees don't drown. It holds more and can be refilled without disturbing the hive.

Specialtybottle.com is a good source if you must. Gallon ziploc bags on the top bars are infinitely better and a dime apiece. The bees can take the syrup day and night in cold weather as the cluster keeps the feed warm.
