George...Have you got a link to any studies that show HFCS is harmful to
bees, and can cause sickness or death? I would be interested in reading
that, as I feed tons of HFCS each fall to colonies that don't have quite
enough to make it 'till spring. I believe there are two production methods
for this sugar...acid, and enzyme. I've heard the acid produced HFCS is
deadly, while the enzyme produced is ok. The enzymes produced by a bacteria
convert corn starch into sugar...Fructose (55%) and Dextrose (45%). I have
always used the enzyme produced HFCS.
