I don't know for sure what percentage of fructose I bought. It came from a
bee supply company that contended they use it with their bees. It seemed a
good bet and it was available to me in buckets instead of 55 gallon drums
that I would rather not handle. I place the syrup in a gallon bucked over
the inner cover, not on top of the frames. It would seem to create a chill
problem if I placed it on the frames. ??
The bucked has a one inch hole with a screen. Perhaps I could add
additional holes.
It really does crystallize fast. Perhaps the sign of less fructose.
