Store Sugar in Bucket
Preparing Sugar Syrup
    Step 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8   

Use only refined white sugar, as this is generally cheapest and does not cause honeybee dysentery, as does raw sugar (like brown sugar).  It is easiest to store sugar in 5-gallon buckets, as shown here, as opposed to just keeping the sugar in the bags you get from the store.  Bucket storage is better, as it makes it easier to scoop the sugar during mixing, the bucket can be sealed to keep out ants, and you usually have an extra quantity of sugar to use when needed.
