Bob Harrison mentioned that in the past there has been linkage of ucsing 
scrap fructose with bee die-offs.

Bob, I buy scrap sugar syrup(The thick stuff that hardens easily if not 
diluted w/water).

What you said alarmed me a little. Even though I have exercised caution to 
some degree by feeding a hive or two for a few weeks before using in my 
overall operation, I certainly dont want to take the risk of losing bees en 
masse. I am aware that it is possible that some problems might not appear 
til on down the road, so I would heartily appreciate any comments you might 
have on this matter. One area I would appreciate hearing on is the lag time 
between feeding and dying.

Thanks for any time in commenting.

By the way.there is lots of info to weed through on this forum, but it has 
been a real educational tool  for me.
Thanks to all
