Comparing Honey Bee Hive Feeders

We feed bees sugar syrup when they need it, for example when hiving a new package or nuc. Syrup ensures the bees have a constant supply of carbs in the spring when the weather is variable and flight days may be separated by cold days. Syrup also helps the bees’ wax glands make more wax, which speeds up the comb-building process.

Do I have to buy the perf lids or can I just punch holes into the cap myself then tap the hole flat so. It to cause a sharp edge?

Or can I drill a 1/16 hole in cap ?

Do you boil your sugar water then let it cool?

What about using straw in the top basin feeder?

Does the Beemax feeder weight like 2 pounds max? It seemed so to me
