No drowned bees

[Bumbling Keeper]

I have checked my order from the Bay people and no mention of fire retardant used in the production. Not to say it does not have any in it but I would guess any well washed sponge product would be good too.

How's about using natural sponge? (just thinking outloud - I've not tried any of these hacks yet.)

Last year the wasp problem was so bad I had them drowning in the feeders too.
The methods above are commendable but I have a cleaning fetish with feeders,qx's and floors so I'm still unconvinced.

I'm sure there'll be an interest group for fetish beekeers somewhere on t'interweb.

This one isnt the cornucopia then?

I think this is a good idea. People have used similar to give water to tarantulas for years, they suck at the foam. I wonder if the sugar will clog it up though.
