Are you feeding fructose corn syrup from a bulk tank?

[@DysonApiaries]

I am using sucrose. We typically buy bulk already mixed.

Does this cause an ant problem? Looks like they would be attracted to the sugar.

[@DysonApiaries]

It could. In the case ants found it, you could just move it to a new location.

Placing it on a surface painted with a petroleum product or a water trap would help with ants?
