Thanks for that info!
I did not know that part about the bees consuming HFCS. Talk about Franken-food!
When conditions are poor, such as you are going into winter and the honey stores are in sufficed for a colony to survive until spring, you feed the bees sugar water and high operating feed HFCS.
However, a good beekeeper will pull the feeder off the hive and wait a while before adding a honey super.
The big operations will keep feeding the bees and sell the honey produced from HFCS.
