Bees do use fungus, I believe, to help ferment their pollen....but why would
bees bring 80% fungal spores of a "pollen sample" home?  Very curious.  How
are those hives (or that hive) doing now?


Randy reported a lot of rust fungas last fall,   There was also a
presentation on fermentation of pollen buy I think it was Kirk Webster???
(help me out Randy)   Bottom line if I recall was they do not ferment it??
