Re: Starch consumption by HBs
> Three different starch syrups available on the Polish market for winter feeding of bees were evaluated for two consecutive beekeeping seasons (2012/2013 and 2013/2014). Sugar syrup and inverted sucrose syrup were used as the control. The analysed syrups turned out to be as suitable for winter feeding of bees as sugar and inverted sucrose syrups.
> Sugar syrup (a mixture of water and pure sucrose from sugar beets or sugarcane) has been used for many years to feed honeybees. In Western Europe starch syrups used in beekeeping are also called maltose syrups. These syrups have been produced from the cereal starch, mainly wheat starch. The results of our study indicated that starch syrups used for winter feeding turned out to be as suitable as sugar syrup or inverted sucrose syrup.
