6.NON COLLECTION OF DEW AT DAWN.>
 
I grew up on a dairy, early is the norm. I've seen bees on dune grass at  
dawn, desert plants on the high deserts of the west at dawn, but none on  
gutation droplets.  
 
We're not talking about dew here.  Guttation droplets and dew are not  the 
same.
 
I will agree that true  gutation droplets tend to form in morning - my  
wife specializes in photography them from a variety of plants.  
 
She's a superb macrophotographer - has had covers of Nat Mags, her work  
hung in Smithsonian's Botanical Gardens in Washington  D.C.   NEVER sees
 a bee on gutation droplets from any type of flower.  Also, MT is  a 
semi-arid state, so it gets hot and dry during the day.
