Feeders seem to vary with the drowning possibities, and I rarely use those with the cone on, even though The Jumbo ones are a useful size. I prefer the feeders with a central division, but they do need a tight-fitting glass over the slots, so bees can't get into the syrup. Those pesky small wasps seem to get under the tops of all of them, and they do drown! They must be able to flatten! The plastic jumbo feeders did, however, make very good wasp traps when we had an absolute invasion, as long as there was something in the liquid which bees won't go for.......
