My requeened laying worker hive was really low on foragers. They were queenless quite awhile before I discovered it, so foragers were dying off before the new ones were old enough to take over.This fdeeer doesn't block the hive entrance. I believe you've got it on backwards. The drawer should slide out in the BACK of the hive. This is really handy, since you don't have to venture into the flight path to fill the fdeeer. I don't even wear a veil while filling it, because the bees really don't mind.I have windows in the hive with the fdeeer on it. I'll try to post some pictures soon of the bees feeding from the fdeeer.I have had ants extremely interested in the hive since I put on the fdeeer   so much so that they built a nest in the quilt! What a mess. They were shoving sawdust out of the quilt (that's how I found them) and filling the space with eggs. I dumped the whole thing and replaced the quilt contents with red cedar sawdust. The ants don't like it, but it doesn't seem to bother the bees at all. (The other Warre hive already had cedar in the quilt.)I will take off my fdeeer when they no longer need it. Warre describes a top fdeeer for fall/winter in Beekeeping for All, but I haven't studied that one yet.<br/><br/>
