Or just convert the bottom board into a feeder...

We drill a 1.5" hole in the lid for 1 or 2 gal buckets. When the buckets are not on them we plug the hole with a 1.5" plumbing test cap purchased at Home Depot for about .35 each.

By puting a hole for a feeder in the top of the nuc top, will this not let water into the hive?

I made feed rims/crown board for my 5 frame nucs and I have been feeding them with a one gallon Zip Lock bags plus pollen patties that are 17% crude protein.
Some of the nucs can empty the bag overnight!. Regards, Ernie

eclose- we plug the hole when not in use with an inverted cap that pushes into the hole, called a "test cap" for PVC plumbing. Home Depot and Lowes carry the test caps
