First, apologies to everybody for the bad netiquette. Thank you for the
reprimand, Aaron. I really didn't know.
 
Dear Garth,
 
In 1990, I observed bees collecting baker's flour in lumps on their hind
legs and bringing it home to the hive. We had one of our apiaries near a
bakery and our bees would fly 75 meters straight through a crack in the wall
and into the flour trough. They were even depositing it into their combs.
Only 2 or 3 colonies in the 100 colony apiary did this though.
