Some of the highest levels of HMF that I  encountered were during the first wave of problems in 2006-2007.  Although our surveys and later work indicated that HMF was not associated with massive colony depopulation, we did find one beekeeper who did have an HMF kill - he stored his syrup in a steel tank on a truck, had a stirring unit, and because his morning were cold, was heating the syrup in the tank to make it flow better.  Metal + heat is a bad combination when  it  comes to HMF formation.
