Hi just wondering if anyone knows what the max amount of syrup I can put in a maisemore poly nuc feeder tray at any time ?
 
Till it overflows? No help but......try it and see would be the obvious answer! :)

It depends on how many bees you have and available space for them to store it, half fill and see what happens check and the next day if you can, if it has gone which the bees can remove very quickly fill it up and check in a few days, i have seen me put 4ltr of 2:1 in contact feeders on a hive and it had gone by the next day and the next batch i put on a day later had also gone, it's a learning game and no one can tell you exactly what to do with each colony as they are all different.
