Every time I turn around, I find another use for duct tape. When I was a Girl Scout leader, my co-leader and I kept count for the more than 100 uses we found for the bandana. I have now found a new use for the center cone of the Rapid Feeder!
My grandchildren came over to dye Easter eggs on Saturday and we didn't have enough cups for the egg dye. I went to the nearby CVS, but they didn't carry any plastic drinking cups like we sometimes have used. So we put to work the center cup of the Rapid Feeder as a dye holder:
The kids had fun and thanks to the help of the Rapid Feeder, we dyed beautiful eggs.
Afterwards I ran the Rapid Feeder cups through the dishwasher in case any dye residue affected the honey for the bees in the feeder later on.
This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. ...there's still so much to learn.

I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here.Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.
