yes, caramelized sugar is bad for bees, the beauty of this method is you are not heating the sugar, you are just adding some water.

white sugar is refined, and to me and many beekeepers, its fine to feed to bees. raw sugar also known as demerra or turbinado sugar has a brownish cast.
brown sugar, as its known to most people, is refined sugar that still has the molasses in it, or refined sugar that has molasses added to it.

overcooked sugar kills bees. It is called caramel or something like that. Be really careful what you do…

good question, but no, the sugar is food for them to eat in winter, honey is made from nectar they collect, honey cannot be made from any sugar you feed them. thx, eric.

Would the essential oils add flavor to the honey?

I believe in eating organic. So I avoid most commercially produced sugar which is made from sugar beets. Most sugar beets are genetically modified. I am wondering if this is something to be concerned about…
