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.
Is there any way to tell that from the label? If it’s at a farmer’s market, for instance, could it still be like that?
There is a local organic store that sells honey from a vat (weighed out) - I hope it’s good.
