>What exactly do you mean by the term "corn syrup"?

Sorry, I generalized the term.  Thought you would just of taken for granted
that I meant 55% fructose corn syrup.  I dont have the storage to take
liquid bulk sucrose, and dont have the time to mix sugar syrup...

I would have to ask you to back youself up with some science on HFCS
having "harmful non-digestible products for a bee and can cause sickness
and/or death."
I have never had any problems with HFCS, and use it routenly every year
with the greatest of success.  A couple of gallons or so satisfy their
brooding needs, but I usually feed another pail to finnish off the
foundation nicely.  They dont touch the foundation if I dont feed the hives
liberaly.  They even draw the plastic out without a second thought..
