>Even when present, bees forage for plant nectar, and apparently leave the
soda to the vespids.
Not so. When we lived in the town (Stratford-upon-Avon) some years ago
there was a soft drinks factory a few hundred yards away. Empty drums of
coloured concentrate were dumped outside waiting disposal and we regularly
had brilliant green, red and yellow cells of 'honey' in our hives at home.
