Which do you prefer to feed packages HFCS or sugar syrup?  Why?

Just curious.

i like Sugar Syrup because I can make it up myself in either a 1:1 ratio or 2:1 ratio.     It is a good alternative for hobby beekeepers.    Most of the commercial beekeepers use HFCS, becuase they buy in bulk for many 100's of hives.

By the time I pay shipping on HFCS it would be more expensive.  I'm not convinced that it's any better than sugar syrup.

Man, they must be really hungry bees if you buy it by the 50lb bag to feed 2 hives :wink:
