In my experience the higher the solids content the faster that fructose will granulate. Corn Products explained to me that #55 fructose is 67% solids and unless you can keep the product at a temp above 100 F that you run the risk of granulation. They told me to add 10% water to the #55 and this would help to eliminate this problem and not reduce the solids content below 50%. #45 fructose does not have the solids that #55 does and will ferment sometimes before the bees can use it.
