Jen:
I love these bucket feeders but cannot remember what company I got them from?

I love them too.  I sure wished I had more this fall.  It's annoying and inefficient to pull buckets, wash them, and then fill them so that you can put them back on.  They are on my wish list for next year.

Jen:
Thanks Baker! Me too, I usually run 2-3 hives. But being a mentor now, hives just make their way into my apiary. I've got 6 now.

Frankly, I cracked up when I saw the 2 gallon bucket feeder :D That Is A Lot Of Syrup! Plus very heavy to navigate onto the top of a hive. But understandable if I'm going to be gone for awhile or cannot tend to the hives for awhile.

I have found that the 1 gallon suits me just fine.

Zweefer:
You get hives when you mentor?  My hive count always seems to go down....

 Jen, larger quantities don't work well for me due to mold in the syrup. I can add bleach or essential oils to slow it, but it dosent stop it. That being said, the mold has to get bad before the bees won't take it.
