Ahoy! Dave and Adrian,
To confound it all, I see my bees fly THROUGH my chicken wire into the
coop to wallow in the dust of cracked corn that I feed my Rhodes Island
Reds with. Some do fly four feet up to avoid the wire, but most fly right
*through* the thin [almost invisible]wire mesh. Since no pollen is
available, other than scarce dandelion blossoms in pockets, I did put out
pollen supplement [largely, soy flour mixed with thick sugar], which they
pack into their goulashes in frenzy. But many of them still take corn
dust; others are even into the chicken “grower” feed!? [Now don’t ask me
if the grower will do better than the pollen supplement for brood
rearing!]
It indeed is difficult to pigeonhole nature into NEAT, anthropomorphic
categories although such classification will help us immensely as we, a
rational animal, must impose ORDER in nature.
