Ahoy! Dave and Adrian, To confound it all, I see my bees fly THROUGH my chicken wire into the coop to wallow in the dust of cracked corn that I feed my Rhodes Island Reds with. Some do fly four feet up to avoid the wire, but most fly right *through* the thin [almost invisible]wire mesh. Since no pollen is available, other than scarce dandelion blossoms in pockets, I did put out pollen supplement [largely, soy flour mixed with thick sugar], which they pack into their goulashes in frenzy. But many of them still take corn dust; others are even into the chicken “grower” feed!? [Now don’t ask me if the grower will do better than the pollen supplement for brood rearing!] It indeed is difficult to pigeonhole nature into NEAT, anthropomorphic categories although such classification will help us immensely as we, a rational animal, must impose ORDER in nature.
