So this is geared toward those of you who don't have a commerical style pumping system.
I just have 5 hives and have ideas how to fill the feeder but I don't want to make a mess and attract any more ants than i have to.
I just made these this past weekend and have put the boxes on the hives just no the feeders yet.
So I'm assuming there is a cheap easy approach to this?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180821/c7e913f1d06d4d5ad7a89f9f38078e5b.jpg)

Why not just reuse a one gallon milk container?

Definitely a good idea which you can also mix in that as well. I think I will give that a shot. I think i may be able to get that close enough not to splash.

You could use a milk jug plus a funnel.
I use one of my 5 gallon (maybe 6) honey buckets to fill the top feeders. Just rest bucket on top and open honey gate to fill. No mess.
I?ve used a five gallon bucket with a honey gate to mix. I use a paint mixer on a drill. They then get transferred over to a one gallon jug or three gallon jug. The three gallon jug was originally a cat litter container.
I had this food grade bucket that I was trying to use for open feeder but it leaked however it worked perfectly for me as a hive feeder filling system with a few modifications.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180822/0d2a1e8e505be0393e415d0d98a53090.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180822/927bb8338b9bc7805cc7aa9e9435fd6d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180822/d6aea9b5fa719763c20180c7a5227656.jpg)
