it always leaks when you first flip it over.  are your holes to big?  they need to be really small.  i have some pretty fine plastic screening over mine.

Kathy, I am very seriously thinking about giving the zip loc baggie syrup feeder a whirl this year, just to see how it goes, the site sounded pretty interesting and efficient, and SIMPLE.  Have the best day.  Cindi

I use a i gallon quail watering bottle sit it on top of the frames cover with a deep box
make sure it is level .The bees can go all around it works great

Kirk, now seriously, that is probably the most interesting feeder I have yet heard.  We even probably have some hanging around, never thought of the fowl feeder.  Best of the day.  Cindi
