Hi Dave. I get blocks of natural unrefined palm sugar from. M. Ashraf, 170 Carr Road, Nelson, Lancashire, U.K. Tel: 01282 601726. I cut a small section out of the cellophane covering, place it over one of the holes (Porter escape) in the crown board and leave the bees to excavate. They clean the whole lot out if they are in need. I hope this info. is of help. Thanks for replying. Annette
