Are there any sources of HFCS close to SE PA where we are? The stuff is none too cheap to ship. I was planning to use my double boiler (also has mixing paddles) to make up syrup. I can make over 400# at a time this way, and it saves me from washing the left-over honey down the drain (probably less than a pound). Before it comes up, no disease in my yard, and no honey in the tank from other sources. I am very strict about outside equipment. I burned over ten supers and three hundred frames from another beekeeper that I bought out. Sure, I needed the stuff, but refuse to believe "no disease in his yard." Especially when he tried to give me some packages of terramyacin. Sure, maybe he did not see any AFB, but the mere presence of the stuff means it was probably in there. No prophylactic treatments here either. Thanks again...JK Jonathan B. Kriebel Das Sauen Õhr Farm 3229 Zepp Rd.
