>>>>   If one feeds HFCS to bees during a honey flow and  the bees are taking and storing the HFCS, is the honey adulterated?
 
YES to my way of thinking.  I feed sugar syrup and to make sure that it isn't included with my honey production I color it with red, blue, or green food coloring.  When pulling honey, if I see a frame with a cell of color (food coloring) in it, it is excluded from the extraction process.

Integrity of my product is very important to me.   I get kidded by my buddies who have helped me with extraction.  I tell 'em, if you lick your fingers, ya gotta go wash your hands before you continue helping.
