Here's a novel (albeit wiseass) question i got recently from a co-worker and couldn't answer: Will bees eat (be attracted to) artificial sweeteners? I.e., can they be "fooled" by Nutrasweet or saccharin? Not that you'd want to feed them with it, but is "sweet" to us necessarily sweet to them? (Ridiculous, i know, but had to throw it out there.) Just in case your bees start getting too portly Now if i could just get funding for this, maybe i could make it to graduate school. I'm already anticipating another in-depth study to try and find out if wasps can be embarrased.
