I thought it would be good to have a thread dedicated to any tips or tricks you have learned over the years that may be of benefit to someone else. I am sure some of you have done things outside the box in the past that have worked for you. Maybe you would be willing to share and if so here is a good place to put it out there.
I have only been into this for one year so my knowledge base is not that great but I found one thing that is working for me and I have not heard of anyone else doing it. I have a bunch of boardman feeders that I do not use because I prefer my hivetop feeders. A few weeks ago I was trying to come up with a good way to provide water for the girls and it dawned on me that the boardman feeders may make good water holders with none of the problems they have when using syrup. I have had them on the hives for a week and a half and they appear to be working very well.
