Corn pollen is a major pollen source in areas where there is a lot of 
corn is grown such as the Midwest. It is a major cause of bee kills in 
sweet corn where it is regularly sprayed for insects. Almost any 
residual insecticide "attaches" to the pollen and is carried back to the 
hive and causes severe delayed brood kill
