OK, I give.  In the last week I've gone through 24 five pound bags of sugar
as I get my 14 or so hives ready for winter.  I need to switch to corn syrup
if only to stop shaking gallon milk jugs full of water and sugar!  My
quandary is this: I need to handle any bulk containers by myself without
specialized equipment.  Moving a drum full of syrup is not going to happen.
Can anyone suggest a type of container in the 5-7 gallon capacity that has
been used with success for corn syrup being fed to bees?  I figure I need to
be buying syrup about 30 gallons at a time - and I have a source - I just
need to provide my own containers.  Many Thanks.
