you will know when it is no longer good for the bees.  It will start to ferment on you and get a little cloudy....

I thought anything 1:1 or heavier couldn't ferment?

Even if it did just start to ferment you could still feed it. The bees just  my be (FWI) flying while intoxicated. :)
A couple of days wont hurt anything.

It will be fine. feed to the bees so they don't have to find out how depressing the landscaping actually is.
