I don't know how old or heated it is, but if it is not too bad, feeding it 
in late spring or summer during dearth would probably not cause economic 
adverse effects and could do some good.

The problems with HMF are worst when it is in the only feed available and 
the bees are confined.

I have heard that the colour is an indicator, but maybe not always.  Clear 
and water-white is good.  Murky and/or tinted is bad.

YMMV.
