IMO this would be a great topic, especially methods of stirring and / or
warming the HFCS prior to distribution/feeding.  However, caution should
be given as HFCS should be given only in the spring as the solids it
contains are difficult for bee digestion; and, sugar syurp(IMHO) is a
better feed in the fall.
