Ok ,I know most of you are busy checking your hives ahead of the coming(early?) almond bloom. So am I .

But I am thinking about setting up a tank or tanks to hold a half tanker load of syrup. I was looking at using some heavy grade plastic tanks. Anyone use these and have any advice on the correct grade of tank for holding syrup ? Any problems with these?
Thanks for any help on this.

Hi Mike how have you been?
I wish I would have known you needed a poly tank.
We just sold one that was 1,800 gal. It was at least 15 years old and was in good condition still with no signs of cracking. They need UV protection which I think most have now days. They are a bit difficult to heat if you need heated syrup.

Does anyone know of any stainless, insulated 6,000 gal.+ silos for sale?
