I have several division feeders and like that they hold a lot of syrup. I have a couple of splits in nucs that Im going to transfer into 10 frame deeps soon and I'm wondering if I can put an inner cover on the lower deep, then an empty deep with the frame feeder in it on top of that. I'd then be able to fill the feeder without disturbing the hive much, and my thought is that the bees would mostly stay in the lower deep under the inner cover and not build comb in the empty deep. Once the lower box was completely drawn I would then add new frames to the deep with the feeder and move the inner cover above it.
I know some people put a pail feeder above the inner cover hole, but I don't have any pail feeders.
Thanks
