> To the best of my knowledge, non-organic honey bee feed and protein
supplements are heavily laden with
non-organic soy and corn products which, in turn, are loaded with
neonics and glyphosates, among other things that I do not believe are
healthy for bees.
I agree with Dick--let's be more careful about posting "beliefs" and
uninformed statements.
It's not difficult to find actual data on the amounts of neonics in these
products; a bit more difficult for glyphosate.
But you can then compare those residue levels to publicly-available data
from the EPA and other sources.
And from a practical application standpoint, although my bee operation
would nearly qualify as being "organic," we do feed commercial syrup and
pollen sub during one or two times of the season in our dry environment.
Our bees thrive on those products over both the short and long term, and
exhibit all signs of good health year after year.
