my hive is taking in the corn syrup big time....can you feed them too much? or once the nectar flow starts will they leave the corn syrup alone?

You must learn to check, how much food hive has. First you lift the hive  with one hand and you assume the weight.  If hive is light, you just open covers and look, if you see capped food enough.

There is articles to give food.  Sugar  is better give about  10 lbs at one time, but after cleansing flight.

If hive has too much food, it restrict the brood area.

Your job must be based on knowledge, not on belief. One knowledge is when you see your self

That's true. You don't want them to fill up all the frames and leave the queen no place to lay.

When they're drawing comb on foundation, though, I'm not sure whether that's an issue.
