My experience is that 2:1 or over tends to granulate in the comb far
more quickly than a concentration of slightly less than 2:1.  The big
bendfit of heavy syrup is that you can get 100 lbs into the hive in just
a few days.  So it doesn't matter much if the bees see it as nectar or
not it is not a long term source.
