Just a general question,do I keep this or give it away.
Made up of Glucose : 35%, Fructose 25%, Maltose 20,5% (so it says).
They seem to vary a bit but say 12 months storage out of the heat and sun.
Just checking, I was due some bees but delayed so I am leaving it till next spring. I bought this in anticipation of their arrival, now delayed 9-10 months so a bit borderline.
I have never used it before and the general advice seems to be if it clear and doesen't smell it is ok. I also read if it is a bit cloudy / becoming solid then re heating to 40-50c will revive it.
Any advice apprciated, it is unopened so no extra air or dirt inside. If there is a risk of it becoming unusable then I will pass it on to someone else.
