How to use
Set the rim on top of the hive box. Leave the top screens in place for ventilation or remove them for an upper entrance. Place baggie feeders, fondant, dry sugar, or treatments such as HopGuard, Formic Pro, or Apiguard on the bottom screen, where bees can reach them. Add absorbent material like wood chips to collect condensation and keep it from dripping onto the cluster.
