"Feeding bees syrup or honey with high HMF levels causes dysentery and
reduces the longevity of colony members. Low levels are tolerated well. High
levels cause the problems.If you want more information, consult recent
papers by Rob Currie, University of Manitoba, on HMF in heat-damaged sugar
syrup and its effects on honey bees."
