Hi Dick and all
My understanding is that the bees are looking for protein. I've seen
them taking sawdust from my compost. I don't think we want to know
about some of the things that they take back to the hive when we
can't watch them. I wouldn't worry about this but what about your
neighbour spraying his dandelions with weed killer.
