I have just bought a bunch of Mann Lake's Double Mating Nuc Boxes and I am trying to set them up correctly. My questions are:
(1) Do you really need the queen excluder or does it stop the bees from getting to the feed? and
(2) What do you put in the feeder for a ladder to keep the bees from drowning in the syrup?
