So I just made 4 nucs. I drilled a perfect hole for a mason jar and put hardware cloth on the bottom of the migratory lid. First problem I found was with a flat migratory lid on top it didn't allow enought bee space to collect on the bottom of the feeder. So I'll fix that when I make the next boxes by making them a little deeper and the frame rest a little deeper as well. My second problem that I need help with is the hardware cloth. I have seen where a lot of you even Michael Bush use the hardware cloth. My mason jar lids are canning lids and they kind of curve inward and they don't sit close enough to the hardware cloth for the bees to still be able to get to the holes. How do you all feed like this
