Excellent education. I am off to do my hives for the first time today. Thank you

It appears that you did not push the plunger down in all of the way. It should snap down so you cannot see the rubber gasket. Am I correct?

You may be right. I did not take any extra care to verify the black gasket was seated in the top of the plunger receiver. I think it is ok. When I tap plunger twice it seals the top well enough. I think as long as it is not leaking vapors it should be fine. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you have a great beekeeping season.
