Pro's - They tend to draw out comb better when fed.
Con's - Will normally take only when not able to get enough on their own nectar.
Will possibly cause robbing from other area hives if using EO.
May clog up the brood nest with syrup causing slower build up.
Honestly speaking, put your hive top feeder on, don't feed much at a time. 16 oz they can pull down in a night. Feed before dark. This gives them time to fill up on it and they can't really store it so they use it to build wax comb with instead. That's how I get my frames pulled out quickly.
