I believe this is a typo. Heavy syrup is 2 parts sugar to 1 part
water. Whether it's volume or weight doesn't much matter. A heavy
fall mixture is as much sugar as one can get to dissolve in whatever
quantity of boiling hot water one is using. Heat the water, not the
syrup.
This is pretty basic stuff folks, readily available in the archives or
any beginning beekeeping reference.
Aaron Morris, thinking archives and textbooks!
