My formula that works great...

Hey Mike,
There is cornstarch in most powdered sugar, and it's been implicated as 
being bad for bees--not sure why. Are you concerned about this at all? Can 
anyone comment on what's the issue with cornstarch in powdered sugar (6X or 
10X would be the baker's designation)?
