I have a question about the safety of corn syrup.  I read on the archives there are 2 ways of producing hfcs one using enzymes & the other using acid.  The first is safe for feeding bees and the second is not.  When I contacted my producer they told me they use and acid/enzyme conversion.  They said they start with starch which they add an acid to it.  Then add enzymes to it.   Is this method of production safe to feed bees wintering in a northern state?  Shane
