Title: FRAME FEEDER
Post by: trapperbob on April 24, 2007, 10:37:28 PM
 :-\ I have installed my very first package and used a frame feeder to feed them with and was wondering how often I should refill the feeder for a new package.

I would keep it filled until there is a good flow or the bees stop taking it,whichever comes first.

Fill it once, maybe twice, and let the bees be bees.  I have this hangup about overfeeding the bees.  Their workers doing a job not pets.
