And I paraphrase;
"Soy flour contains two types of sugars (stachyose & raffinose) that are actually toxic to bees as well as something called a trypsin inhibitor, which blocks the honeybees ability to break down proteins. Essentially, your bees get a short boost from the feed, but soy flour eventually ends up dragging them backwards."
This is the first I've heard of this.
