I would only use white sugar there would be less chance of mold it would last a little longer

Don't make a suger water test tube! Someone had this idea and they said it somehow fermented and killed their queen. I can remember who posted it.

Woah! Well thanks for letting me know! I think I'll just stick with honey then. Don't have to replace it all the time and don't have to worry about evaporation

I have no problem with feeding with sugar water it takes quite a long time to go bad I haven't tried it was actually making the Water behind the cotton balls with sugar water but I usually put a few drops inside the test tube in the Queen's eat them up pretty quick
