Andrew asks 'Can anyone suggest a type of container in the 5-7 gallon
capacity that has
been used with success for corn syrup being fed to bees?"

Why not use standard 5-gallon pails?  They are readily available
'everywhere'.  Specifically, at all Home Depots and Lowes.

Full, they weigh 60 lbs., but there is nothing to prevent you from only
putting 40-50 lbs. in each.
