I've never heard anything about corn. Ohio is filled with corn and
we grow hundreds of acres of it ourselves. Never sprayed a pesticide
once on it. THis is my first year keeping bees but everything I have
heard is that Ohio's bees are simply exploding. Not that that is
proof, just an observation. I'd be interested in hearing more about
corn vs bees.
Cheers!
