Good morning, again.

There's one caveat about feeding honey versus man-made foodstocks.  If you
get honey from diseased hives (e.g., foul brood), you may spread it like
wildfire.

Reason U.S. packages of bees are shipped on syrup, not honey. I'm
comfortable feeding my colonies their own honey -- but I wouldn't go to the
grocery and buy honey to feed.  Odds are, it would be fine, but if you
don't know the source, you take your chances.

Jerry
