confused, what strength syrup

[m100]

Want to stop mouldy syrup? Add bleach. The bees apparently love it.

I'm not that brave (nor do I always believe what I read), sorry!

It's somewhere about the level you'd find in 'fresh' tap water. Harmless.

If you knew what your bees drank for 'water' you'd never taste bee spit again.

In which case sugar syrup made with fresh tap water shouldn't go mouldy.
But it does.

Glad you've found an answer to what you wanted to know.
