I don't know for sure what percentage of fructose I bought.  It came from a
bee supply company that contended they use it with their bees.  It seemed a
good bet and it was available to me in buckets instead of 55 gallon drums
that I would rather not handle.  I place the syrup in a gallon bucked over
the inner cover, not on top of the frames.  It would seem to create a chill
problem if I placed it on the frames.  ??

The bucked has a one inch hole with a screen.  Perhaps I could add
additional holes.

It really does crystallize fast.  Perhaps the sign of less fructose.
