There was a presentation at the recent ABF Conference relating to bee 
longevity and the comparison to feeding sucrose syrup and HFC. Does anyone 
know if these were bees in confinement or were they allowed to fly?
Perhaps the reduced life span had to do with confinement? Even so this may 
not be good for us northern beeks?
