If I did that I'd be feeding bees from miles around. I rarely feed but when I do I use gallon size Zip Lock bags in a 3" section cut from hive box and place under the inner lid. I cut a "X" in the bag after laying it down. It is very rare or impossible to lose a bee by getting in the sugar water. They crawl in the opening and clean out the bag after the bag empties to the bottom. The system you have is very nice when providing water though. Looks very nice too.
