Dear beeliners, This has nothing to with AHB but i wanted to quickly use the reply command to send a message. I wish to obtain some industrila corn syrup for feeding to bees. Can anyone give me the compositions normally offered by companies. I wish to feed the syrup to bumblebees in it's neat state - preferably approx 70% sugars without dilution to cut down work and reduce fermentation problems. Has anyone got any ideas about the simplest way of producing/obtaining syrups which do not ferment and require minimal effort. I would appreciate any addresses which are in the UK if at all possible.
