The pail must have a resealable top.
Just drill a few 1/16 or smaller holes in the top, reseal it, and place it upside down on top the hole in the inner lid.
Add an empty box and cover, and you are feeding.

How many hives?
Started with 11 in the fall, still have 8.
Sold 30 + last summer. Plan to do the same this year.
I do removals and swarm collecting.
How long?
Got my first hive in 1977 or 78.
I like feral mutts.
