From: Chris Slade:"Why not routinely add blue dye to sugar syrup used for bee 
feed?"

I've been routinely adding either red or green food dye to the syrups that I've 
been feeding my bees.   I've seen some capped cells of green honey.    I'm 
surprised that I have not seen more of it though.  It's almost as if the syrup 
I've provided has been consumed or immediately utilized rather than stored for 
use later on.    Mike in LA
