The White nuc that only had 2 frames of bees, brood, and food is consuming food faster than the Green nuc so I upped the size of the feeder. I've been feeding 1:1 syrup of sugar and switched to goldenrod honey today. Small jar had 250g sugar/honey. Big jar is 660g honey.

When I first set the feeder this morning I thought it was leaking because it was bubbling so fast. Checked and it had a ball of bees on it.

Achievement unlocked: Insert 40 mesh stainless screen into 3d printed pickle jar lid.

Paused, tacked in place with soldering iron, resumed. It's about 0.35 in a 0.28 layer space made for it.

It is a bee feeder lid that sits on an elongated inner cover hole that is also screened.
