everytime ive used frame feeders i get a lot of robbing...
so i've been putting 2 chickenwaterers of 1 gallon each in front of the hive using 1:1...
i have 4 hives, and yesterday i checked them... 90 % of the frames were really light... they dont have any stores of honey... not much anyways..
i gave them 6 gallons last week... they usually go through 2 gallons in a couple of hours..
i was going to get a 5 gallon chicken waterer, but someone told me on the chat forum last night that using waterers can spread nososma..
if i use frame feeders, they rob... so i dont know which to use... i plan on doing the antibiotics mixed with powdered sugar, but wanted to see what ya'll think..
