I have the black feeder with wire mesh in the center from KB....
My question is should the inner cover go on top of it..?????
I left it off for now........
It looked to me that if I left it on the bee's would go in through the inner cover and drown in the feeder... Instead of entering above the frames.....
Did I mess up? Will a missing inner cover kill my bees?
My other Hive has a brushy Mountain feeder on it! Which I like a lot better because there should be no drowning no matter how they enter.. The inner cover is on top of it.
