Does anyone know of a good source of bucket feeders. Just plain buckets, not the ones with the screens. I bought mannlakes 1 gallon pails last year but decided 2 gallons would be better. Also the bees can suck syrup from around the rim on the outside which causes robbing. I'm willing to pay a premium if it means i'll get many years of service out of it. Also, for those of you that use plugs to fill your buckets up, what kind and where should i get those. Thanks

Dadant does have the 2 gallon buckets. Use several to remote feed in my home yard. Got the idea from Dadant as they stack 3 to 4 high on a pallet when the nucs are in. bucket blows off stack when empty, easy to tell when time to reload.
