Wes asks:
What is scrape?
incorrect spelling.
Should be scrap.
Scrap is beekeeper slang for fructose which is *off spec* or freight
damaged sugar etc.
I might add that when you know the off spec of fructose you can eliminate
the fear of the use of the dreaded off spec fructose position raised by
Allen and others (in my opinion).
Also:
The sugar plant we deal with has two full time chemists!
Wes does raise an important point which is beekeepers have got a language
all their own. At times both Bee Culture and the American Bee journal have
had articles about dictionaries of beekeeper words.
spell check did not catch my incorrect spelling as both scrape & scrap are
in the dictionary.
I get lazy and type fast and let spell check fix the mistakes.
