Thanks Peter for sharing this reference. I kept looking for starch syrup, I found a definition for it to share with you and bee-L. 
Starch syrup is a purified and concentrated product obtained as a result of the processing of starch from corn.

Starch syrup is widely used in the food industry and cooking as a thickener and sweetener. The production of starch syrup occurs through enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch with subsequent purification.

Depending on production technology, starch syrup has a different carbohydrate composition: glucose, maltose, maltotriose, and other sugars. 
So to be clear, there is a difference between starch and starch syrup based on the definition above. Starch Syrup is processed starch through enzymatic hydrolysis that will still contain maltose (Starch sugar/malt sugar)) and maltotriose.. 
According to the cited paper, the following is the composition of fed materials to bees including corn syrup.
