We know  bees can't survive on canola honey due to being hard. Despite too 
much canola  honey stored in hives bees die from starvation.


Does that vary with the race of bee?  Here in the UK the bees, Apis  
mellifera mellifera, must have wintered largely on crystallised ivy honey  since 
we became an island and the ice retreated about 20,000 years ago.
 
Sugar for feeding arrived roughly around the time that imported strains of  
bees did.
