        Your syrup is really a solid block? : )

        Frankly, as far as winter feeding is concerned I never saw a need to
make syrup. I just put sugar in granular form on top of the inner cover
if I'm just worried or on top of slitted newspaper or cardboard if real
feeding is necessary. I could see the distinct advantages of candy laid
on top of top bars but haven't found it necessary.
