I have read and only used white granulated sugar for making syrup and feeding my bees.
Is light brown cane sugar suitable, I have been offered a potential supply and would welcome your views. Also if it is not suitable do you know why and have you tried it.
Below is a paragraph from his recent response to my e mails.
' We do not have ‘unsound’ white granulated sugar, the unsound sugar which is produced during the packing processes (which we sell onto bee keepers) is cane sugar, it varies in colour – ranging from Light Golden Demerara to Dark Hard Sugars and Molasses. The majority will be light brown cane sugar. We sell this onto bee keepers for the same purposes as you want to use it, but I wanted to clarify that it is not just white granulated that you were after, as unfortunately if it is then we will not be able to help as white gran ‘sound’ sugar is in very short supply and also expensive'.
Any thoughts please.....![BEE-SMILLIE bee-smillie bee-smillie](https://www.beekeepingforum.co.uk/images/smilies/BEE-SMILLIE.gif)
