Do any of you use citric acid in your bee syrup?
Vinegar or citric acid to invert it and Thymol dissolved in isopropyl alcohol to prevent fermentation.

During my 60 years I have never used thymol, vinegar or citric acid in my feeding syrup. There are reasons, why the syrup becomes mouldy, and try to avoid those reasons.Vinegar or citric acid to invert it and Thymol dissolved in isopropyl alcohol to prevent fermentation.
