Can this be used for winter time feed? Has anyone had any experience with it? How to feed etc.

This is meant more for Spring and Fall because it has protein in it will encourage the queen to lay eggs and the hive to be more active. I do not recommend it for winter feeding, because your hive may be too active.

How long will it keep fresh after opening the container?

I have never really measured the time. I have 8-10 hives and go thru 2 -3 of these from June through Dec (depending on the weather). The girls love it. I open feed in a couple of 2' x 4 or 5" pvc pipes lashed to my bear fence. The bees roll around in it and fly back to their hives looking like yellow ghost bees. There is no fighting and I am sure I am feeding a lot of feral bees. I live in a remote mountain area and there are no other beekeepers for miles. If you have other beekeepers around you I am sure you will be feeding their bees. Works great and the bees have a head start for spring.

bees dont seem to like this any help?

The only time bees don’t feed on it is when there is plenty of fresh pollen available, trees plants etc; my bees love in open feeder in heat of summer and on warm fall and winter days:; bottom line leave it out for them in dry feeder and they will eat it when they need it

Why 20 dollars more here than on Mann Lake web site?

I purchased this product on September 10, 2019 at a cost of $43.22 which was $11.27 higher then Mann Lake. Mann Lake's shipping charges compared to the free shipping I receive from Amazon made the deal work out about even for me. For some reason though Amazon has raised their price $10 since I purchased this product last while Mann Lake's price has stayed the same which means it would be cheaper buying directly from Mann Lake.
