On Bee-L Jerry Bromenshank asked for video evidence of bees collecting
field corn pollen or guttation fluid. I did not observe bees collecting
guttation fluid, but I was not looking for it either. But I did make a
video of bees collecting field corn pollen last summer. This is not
sweet corn - this is field corn grown for livestock feed.
This was in the middle of a drought, and it was the only pollen I was
seeing coming in, but the bees were working the field corn for pollen.
Clarification, I asked for video of bees collecting guttation droplets.
From the 53 fields, we had the occasional field where bees would collect
pollen from field corn, but like Allen says, only when nothing else was
available.
