Question:
     After the holidays my family has collected lots of hard candies that
seem to slowly collect in our kitchen cupboards beginning with the
children lugging it in on Halloween.  Can these candies be melted down
and included with feed for honey bees safely?  Are there poor quality
sugars in such candy that would be hard on bees, especially in winter
months when they can't fly?  What about jelly beans?  Realize that this
helps me with two New Year resolutions;  Help the wife around the house
more and take better care of the bees!
