ABSTRACT Feeding bees carbohydrates, as a substitute for nectar, has become essential in modern beekeeping. We compared the effects of 65% sucrose (SS) and invert sugar (IS) syrups on survival enzyme activity caged honey bees. Specifically, we analyzed glycosidase head midgut composition sucrose‐based (SH) sugar‐based (IH) “honey” stored by collected from comb. Glycosidase was similar contrast to where it higher IS fed bees, which appeared be residual yeast β‐fructofuranosidase activity. Fructose glucose ratio SH were 60.84/39.16 presence some other sugars detected, while IH 48.49/51.51, almost exactly same start (48.57/51.43). It been demonstrated that Zymogram detected α‐amylase band SH, IH, suggest do not add amylase into IS. In no crystallization occurred IH. SS densities 1.23 1.24 g/mL, respectively, increasing 1.35 g/mL 1.28 after processing. This suggests humidity restricted cleansing flight make harder remove excess water leading increased hindgut weight, correlates with mortality third week IS‐fed group fourth SS‐fed group.
