My bees almost starved. Now I am feeding them and they are eating about 2 quarts a day. But each time I go to fill the slot feeder they are inside it and won't come out. When I pour in the sugar water quite a few get submerged. I'm not sure if they are making it or not. Is there a way to use this type of feeder and avoid this problem?
What type of feeder are you using ?
Pour slowly. A float is always good as well. Or wait until it's empty to refill.
