Planning ahead for the Spring.. been hammering together boxes and frames, tops and inner covers, etc.
Now I am wondering about new feeders. I have used frame feeders - they work OK, and they're cheap. BUT you have to open the hive each time to fill and they don't have a very large volume capacity. If you want to use them w/o opening the hive then you have to put a spare deep on top.
Been wondering about the tray type hive-top feeders. What are the pros and cons? Where can I buy them?
