plastic bag feeder

[wightbees]

I used this method to feed my bees and it's simple and seems to work a treat.
I think it was Admin's idea , but can't be sure where i read it. But just fill a bag up put a slit in the top, having placed the bag ontop of the frames .When i went and checked my bees yesterday they had totally finished 1 bag

for the idea

What did you put in the bag? 1-1 syrup?

It's a great system yes. Until it fails.........

Do the best for your friends and treat your bees to a quality frame feeder.

PH

When they decide what box they want to live in i will ph.
At the mo it was a quick try to get them to move up, but it's on my build list( feeder)

I also doubled the bags up , sugar syrup in bag tie up then slipped it into another bag left open. Little slit at the top and it worked.
But i will sort out a feeder soon.

You have summer and you feed sugar ...Nice yield!

 

[wightbees]

Not trying to get yield Finman, i'm trying to get them to draw comb and move up into my dadnat box . But it's not happening
It's only a couple of ltrs but it hasn't helped anyway.

.
How big is your colony?

If the colony is not able to draw new combs you just fill valuable existing combs.

 

[wightbees]

Finman , do you mean pour syrup straight into the empty comb ?
As for size i don't know being new, it could be small or bigger i have no idea.
I think i will have to have a better look and report my findings ,to try and sort this out.
