Bees do not prefer sugar feeding but if there is nothing else they will hit
it hard.  I never worried about it affecting the honey because when the nice
flows are on, weather is fine, bees are out and about doing their bee things
and your probably peeking at the hives frequently and you will see they no
longer touch the sugar.

In the eairly spring is when feeding is an issue to hold them over till they
can get thier own suplies.  This past winter supplies ran short. Many hives
fail this time of year because no food is availale.  As soon as their needs
are met by nature they will not take the sugar and youll see the levels
untouched at which time you can remove them.
