234F corresponds to 112C. A boiling distilled water temperature in normal
pressure is 100C. Dissolved salts raises temperature a few degrees C. Does
really such thin sugar syrup gives additional 12C or you close your vessel
tightly and raise a pressure inside?
 
Some beekeepers here use so called an "ice" but they take ,contrarily, more
sugar and less water and boil long time. This way, maybe, they reach 112C
(234F).
