Hi:
 
We are trying to find a way to provide sterile syrup to bees in indoor
flight chambers.  The quickest, cheapest, and easiest way is to use
dextrose (glucose) in IV bags (if we use outdated solution, we will have
a plentiful supply of "free" syrup.
 
Question, can anyone comment on the nutritional tradeoffs of using a pure
dextrose solution rather than a sugar complex?
 
Thanks
