When feeding bees with honey it is best to give them honey they produced.  If there is none then you can make artificial honey discussed here which is second best.  It is in no way recommended to give them someone else's honey cause you can easily give them diseases.  Ordinary sugar bought in groceries is called saharosis and bees can eat it only if transformed into simpler form of sugars called glucosis and fructosis.  They can normally do it themselves but sometimes, especially during winter it is impossible. Then you can do it for them.  Inverting sugar is simply done by heating water until it boils. Then add sugar and acids, for example lemon juice. Cook it for about next 30 minutes.  Then move it away from fire and leave it to cool down. Water 2 cups, sugar 4 cups, 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
