I sure  get tired of all the hubub about protein content.

I'm a bit puzzled by this comment.  I agree that protein content is  just 
one part of the nutritional story, but the Fat Bee/Skinny Bee book has some  
definite opinions about minimum protein content, and too much protein seems 
to  have some adverse effects.
 
However, many members of Bee-L dislike having bees near corn, that bees do  
poorly in this situation, with part of the explanation based on the 
presumption  that corn has low protein content, yet a reasonably good balance of 
amino acids,  etc.
