>>>Does anyone know the reasoning for using both corn syrup and sugar?

Lloyd<<<

I thought all "beekeeping experts" knew that fructose doesn't granulate.  Use all "sugar", i.e. sucrose, and it forms "rock candy" and if you use all "corn syrup", regardless of the ratio of the the syrup, you get runny "goop".  Use "high fructose" corn syrup and you get very runny "goop".
