Hello everybody,

I’ve seen a couple of threads about this issue, but have some additional questions.

I have a leaking problem with my flow frames, too. The bees are really busy filling up the flow frames with nectar, and at a couple of the flow frames, it is leaking out. It seems to come out of the part where you would put the tube for harvesting, you know, where there is the round closing part.

Also:

\*What are my options to solve this now that the bees have already started to fill the flow frames?

\*Should I rely on them closing the caps?

\*How would they be able to close the caps afterwards, while they are already filling the frames up with nectar?

Thanks!
