    giving fondant

    I have some on two hives just now as they weren't taking syrup! What do people find is the best way to feed fondant? On warmer parts of the day it can melt and run. Needs some form of containment except that part in contact with frames?

    It's not a disagreement - it's simply saying what I would do. You'll find a lot of questions come back that way and you have to make what you can of all opinions.
