@gabriel221050 I know nothing about bee keeping. I have no hives and my intent here is to learn. So why are you so upset? It seems fair to me that, if we intend to take honey from the bees, it is fair to give back. No?

These are "Boardman" feeders, and are the worst choice for feeding colonies. The guy is right--they do cause "robbing" by other colonies. Most beekeepers prefer division board feeders, top feeders or inverted jars placed INSIDE the colony.
Boardman feeders do make good waterers, though, on hot days.

On a warm day in the spring, both boxes [hive bodies] are removed and the bottom board is scraped off with a hive tool. Often, the top box is put back in the bottom position [reversing the hive bodies] at the same time to encourage the bees who are now in the bottom box to move up slowly to the upper.
