Not sure about temps, but if the sugar has caramelized
it is my understanding that the syrup can be hazardous
to the hive's health.  This is especially true if the
bees flights are restricted because of weather.  I
can't quote my source of info but recall it from info
gathered years ago when I lived up in Yankee land.
Not sure how that would go down here in the south when
generally bees get some flight weather almost every
week, if not every two weeks.
