Hi Janet and Everyone, >He did tell me that bees were able to digest most flours without a problem... I've watched bees gather agricultural dusts associated with feed grinding operations. They really like corn dust over most others dusts. I've often heard a few beekeepers express their concerns about the corn starch in the powdered sugar. And this concern has been repeated so often that some beekeepers accept it as a fact. But I doubt that it's true as I haven't seen any evidence, either in research or my own experience, to indicate that corn starch a problem. >I saw your article was copyrighted...
