On Bee-L Jerry Bromenshank asked for video evidence of bees collecting 
field corn pollen or guttation fluid. I did not observe bees collecting 
guttation fluid, but I was not looking for it either. But I did make a 
video of bees collecting field corn pollen last summer. This is not 
sweet corn - this is field corn grown for livestock feed.

This was in the middle of a drought, and it was the only pollen I was 
seeing coming in, but the bees were working the field corn for pollen.
