I have the opportunity to obtain several 55 gallon barrels of pop syrup to use as bee feed.
I've seen it mentioned in the past that some commercial bee keepers use pop syrup to
feed thier bees.
 
I need to know if this pop syrup is good for the bees. The bottling co has agreed to
seperart the diet pop, so that I will get only sugared syrup.  Is this syrup good for
my bees? I know that in the past when the kids spill a bottle of pop, the bees are all
over it.
 
I want to have a good source of cheap feed for my bees, but I don't want to give them
anything to hurt them.
 
                                                    Thanks
