I got the info by searching the BeeL archives which is a great place to
confirm inaccuracies and prejudices. It is the link above. Just type in
manure and you will be suprised what comes out.
There were a bunch of posts about this in the past including bees
frequenting dog kennels. Most thought it was because of minerals in the
urine that came with the manure.

So bees have been seen by beekeepers in manure. But it could be the other
way around...
