Building the feeder

So the bees are coming next week Tuesday May 10. Now that it is that close I figured that i better build some type of a feeder. I figured I should make something cheap, so i bought a couple of feet of clear tubing at Lowes and a couple of one inch hose adapters. I am planning on sticking the hose adapter into the one inch hole that I have in the hive and the other end into a one inch hole drilled in the plastic tub. I have an old piece of pine board in the plastic tub with some holes drilled through it for the bees to feed at. My hope is that the bees will go through the tube to the feeder and I won't have to open the hive to refill the feeder.
