On a similar vein I have around 12 kilos of sugar that after the moggies got to it isn't fit for consumption and I've wondered if I could do something with it along the same lines. Or has anyone got any better ideas than just burning it?

Can it be used in pest traps? Is it good enough to make syrup for a beekeeper?

It can be used in small doses on plants as a growth booster ,but only small doses.

I've used a bit of sugar in cut flowers before now which seems to keep them fresh a little longer so I could see it helping plant growth. I had considered using it for baiting traps although I've got plenty of other stuff for that. I could use it in wasp traps I suppose and I don't know anyone local who keeps bees and it wouldn't be worth trying to post. I have in the past used fairy liquid and sugar for washing my hands when they are particularly grimed in dirt although I'm not sure about mouse urine impregnated sugar.
