>Many cattle farmers will cut a couple rows of corn every day to feed to the
cattle as greenchop. The stubble will leak sap for two or three days it
dries out.  But each day there is fresh material.

Thanks, Dave.  This is an issue that I suspect may be causing me problems,
since I get bee kills when corn is cut for silage.  I had a buddy beekeeper
in the same area check for bee foraging on the sap, but he didn't see any.
I will have to check for myself.  I will also take samples next year.

Randy
