Actually, they used diluted honey, but called it sugar.

The bee lab had no budget for sugar, and if they sold the honey the lab 
produced, the funds went into general revenue, not lab operation.

I seriously doubt any of those colonies wintered successfully after that 
abuse, but in those days replacement packages from California were cheap 
($6?) and the practice in the Peace was to kill off colonies in fall and 
buy new bees in spring.

Never believe anything you read.
