heavy syrup is made by mixing sugar in to water then boiling off most water till it gets thick but does not turn brown like caramel.
simlar to making rock candy.

Thanks, might give that a try.

You might want to try cornflour, mixed to a paste with cold water  then added to boiling water just as if you were making a thin custard, let it cool then mix seeds in, use a bag as a piping bag pipe into rows trying to get about the same distance apart as you would for seeds in a row , use paper towels,when full  put another paper towel on top of the first, allow to dry then cut into strips with seeds in the rows. You can use newspaper if you have lots. I am guessing but feel honey or cornsyrup which is very sweet would attract ants or mice. You can also use wallpaper paste. I have made these with kids at school .

Honey is hygroscopic, ie it attracts moisture. That's what you want when it comes to wound dressings, but not if you want to store seed dry.
