Garry Libby responds to a post and mentions that honey has a pH of 5.5 ish. In The Hive and the Honey Bee on page 878, the book states: "honey generally has a pH ranging from about 3.2 to 4.5, averaging about 3.9, which is in the range of a weak vinegar." A couple of other posts mentioned studies have shown sugar syrup to be superior to honey for bees. Can some of you "studies have shown" guys provide info on when, where, and who did the studies. I am very interested in reading them. Frankly, I am one of those who disagree that sugar is better than honey for bees. Regards, Dick
