I have several drums of syrup that the bees did not take it the fall.  These
were covered and left in the bee yard over the winter.  There has been some
fermentation.
 
Any ideas on using/reclaiming this?
 
One suggestion was to sprinkle peppermint extract into the syrup and the
bees would take it.  I tried a little and I don't think it is working.  I
will check again in a few days.  If peppermint works - how much should be used?
