Off the top of my head...no.
(sorry, it IS Friday)
Conservators like to de-bug textiles and fragile items by placing them in sub zero conditions (wrapped in plastic). Insects may well be able to survive high levels of radiation, thus enabling their mutated offspring to colonise a post-apocalyptic Earth and become our masters (listen to Bill Bailey's "Human Slaves in an Insect World" for further info), but give them a couple of degrees decrease in ambient temperature and it seems they pop their clogs before you can say "Beecham's Powders".
So the moral of the story is to stick your syrup in the freezer for a couple of days!
Good luck
