    Default Apidea feeders

    Hello all,

    For the first time, I bought a couple of two-tier Apideas with top feeders.

    I have two questions: each Apidea came with a white queen excluder with a couple of screws - but I can't see where it is supposed to fit!

    The second question is about the top feeder. There is no baffle to cover the little dam wall - so, how do you prevent the bees from drowning? Do you make your own baffles, or do you fill the feeder with twigs and bits of wood?

    PS: I think I've just now found the answer to my first question: I should pin it underneath the feeder to prevent the queen going up into the feeder. I still wonder about the baffle, though.
