Another good video. SteveO. When I put the holes in my jar lids, I used a bought boardman jar top for a sample. Went to harbor freight and purchased the small assortment pack and found the one that would fit into the already drilled out bought bordman top. Placed this bit into my drill press and went to town! I found the bit is so small that the dewalt chuck on my hand cordless drill, would not close down on the bit. With this setup there is hardly ANY dripage because the feed holes in the cap are so small yep perfect for the bees to feed. If you do not have a bought bordman set up, order a plastic boardman feeder form Man Lake and you will be in business. Thanks for posting. Phillip Hall

Stevo, you mention Harbor Freight a, lot but here's is a don't do, JMO buy I bought a cupped wire wheel; there last week to use on one of my grinders, had to polish some rusty steel to weld, but anyway, I done some polishing for about a half hour and for some reason I rubbed my chest and stomach, there was hundreds of steel wires from the cup sticking in my cotton shirt, the cup was throwing steel at me as I was grinding.

Stevo, you said put some different colors on the entrance ends for the bees to recognize and you had also in an earlier video you were going to make plastic disk entrance covers. If you look on eBay you can get 12 of the plastic disk covers including shipping for less than $8. Just go to eBay and search on “Nuc Box Entrance Gate” you get 4 of 3 different colors. They mount with one screw and have 4 different settings.
