What to use on the inside of top feeder
« on: April 06, 2014, 07:39:26 pm »
        I want to build my own top feeders.  I know that the joints will filled glue, but what do I use to line the interior to make it water proof that won't kill the bees.

Beeswax?

The truth is what the truth is.  We can bend, twist or stretch it all we want but, at the end of the day, the truth is still what the truth is.
