We use only type 55, never type 42, and we always buy the on-spec syrup,
since there was a terrible wreck in Western Canada years ago when some
beekeepers were sold off-spec HFCS and their bees died off over winter.
Apparently type 42 is okay where winters are shorter, but not up here, so we
do not even consider it.
I wonder if you are using type 42? From what I recall, type 42 is cheaper,
but much more prone to granulate. Seems to me that I have heard that 42 is
not as good a feed, either, for several reasons. Also, as I recall, type
55, can often still be pumped when it is granulating, since it tends to set
soft, especially if diluted.
