>I measured the temperature to be about 218 F. Is it risky to use this for overwintering feed? The easy to remember 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 fondant/bee fudge recipe suggested for spring/emergency feeding is: 1 pound/pint water heated to 234º F which has had 5 pounds of sugar stirred into it. Much higher than the 218º F. Personally, I’d not worry about it. Regards, Dick Allen -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
