Good man. Very informative. Thanks John.

HFCS turns to HMF(hydroxymethylfurfural) when heated, similar to formaldehyde. Also HFCS is a by-product of a GMO crop which is designed to hurt insects. Brilliant, lets use a by-product of some thing that is designed to kill insects.

I've gotten totally away from using any types of sugar to feed my bees. I started wintering over in 3 deeps back in 07'. Been averaging 0-8% loss since then.

@AJewFR0 I've not seen the research that says that yet. I like to review sources directly. Do you know what research specifically says feeding High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad? You are correct that Honey is mainly Fructose+Glucose, but that is EXACTLY the very definition of what HFCS is, so they seem very compatible with honey making, in my ignorance, perhaps. Sucrose (white sugar) can be broken down into Fructose and Glucose and often is "inverted" by beekeepers. But HFCS is already there..

I've heard a few folks say they are not feeding corn syrup anymore, but I've never heard an explanation of why. But from a bee nutrition standpoint, don't the bees need a mix of both sucrose and fructose sugars in their diet? So why cut out corn syrup? Seems like a good, cheap source of fructose to mix into the bee diet. Inverted sugar produces a similar effect by splitting sucrose into fructose and glucose. Seems a healthy bee would obtain all three in the wild... What am I missing?

Thanks for these hands-on videos. Not knowing any better I work from a couple of books but find your hands-on videos very useful ... specially the re-use of everyday stuff, like your funnel.

Hello John,

Thank you for the teaching videos. How much salt would you use during winter in the 5 gallon bucket?

Thank You,

Larry

@shemphen9, Luke 24:42-43 (New King James Version)

42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.[a] 43 And He took it and ate in their presence.

*** He is Jesus in this passage and it clearly says, He ate the fish in their presence.

Also Jesus at passover and passover required eating specially prepared lamb. Luke 22:8-15
