During the summer months, various types of butterfly may be observed
visiting stagnant pools of "water" around dung heaps - taking up the

Maybe they cannot distinguish between water containing salts and those
containing sugars!
Is there any work showing that bees can or cannot make the difference
between the two solution types?
