I just ordered the drum (from LSI). It will be here the day after Labour Day.  I could have had it Monday, but we are on Holiday nest week.  Shipping was $68.00, for a total of around $277.00 for 635# of product.  My math is not so good, but that ballparks to around $.46/lb.  That is almost four times the cost of sugar, but without the mixing, mess and hassle.  I am not certain of the conversion loss for sugar syrup, but say it is 50%; then the difference in net costs (w/time, etc) approach zero pretty fast.  I am already looking forward to spring feedings, faster buildup and drawn comb as never before <<G>>. JK
