I have both. I usually use buckets because they are easier to refill and they don't drown any bees. I use the frame feeders in 5 frame nucs and mating nucs now and buckets for hive feeding.

The downside to buckets is that you need an empty box for each bucket.

I use the bucket feeders for slow stimulative feeding and the division board feeders for putting weight on the hives or to draw out wax.
The bucket feder does not need a super over it.

i took all my frame feeders to the ky beekeepers meeting at walter kellys and put a sign on 'em- "free,use at your own risk" drowned too many bees for me. i use bucket feeders on 3/8 spacers on the top frames. if yours wont work, try a spacer,and more holes. i use a frame nail to make the holes. good luck,mike

We use the http://www.mannlakeltd.com/ProductDetail.asp?idproduct=485&idCategory=10 top feeder and no matter how hard we try we get drowned bee's. Don't know how they keep getting in there.

I went to the Mann Lake 2 gallon division feeders with the cap and ladder this year, and really like them. I had a top feeder, but taking it off for inspections was a pain. I'm not seeing much burr comb at all in the ladders either.
