bag feeder location
« on: July 30, 2019, 10:44:52 am »
Is it OK to put a ziplock bag feeder on top of the inner cover (rather than directly over the frame), with a small medium over the inner cover and the outer cover on top of the box?

I don't have one of those shallow boxes to make space for the bag feeder, and I don't want to put a whole empty medium over the frame (trying to keep my smaller hive as warm as possible)

That should work alright. Make sure you dont give too much space.

I just use a shim about 2 in deep when I baggie feed

I can't say I hate the government, but I am proudly distrustful of them.
