Care to share you mixing formula with this complete rookie? As I have a 5 gallon bucket of corn syrup waiting for me to pickup and new bees due in 3 weeks from today. Many thanks!

Pretty cool feature Barry didn't know that existed. But to be honest it reminded me of Mrs. Pitkin in 5th grade. "Now Jimmy I'm not going to tell you the answer you have a dictionary in your desk thats what it's for" You just couldnt reason with that woman.

I went hybrid, mixing sugar into hfcs, all the fun math included is a superior product for several reasons. I'll leave the marketing to mann lake to explain this. For small amounts of HFCS dadant sells it at their outlets.<snip by mod> Finding cheap sugar is an art. I hear the railyards in savannah are a good place for free sugar...
