True, but only slightly. You will see it in the lab but not in the
apiary. Boiled sugar syrup was worse than HFCS. But, again, not so you
will notice. Plus, there are different HFCS formulations which also have
different winter survival rates. And acid hydrolized HFCS is fatal for
winter feed for bees.
