Hi Bill:

This is from page 206 of (dare I say it?) the book The Hive and the Honey
Bee.

“Honey bees in cages preferred diets containing sucrose to those containing
sugar combinations, honey, invert sugar, or isomerized corn syrup. (Herbert
and Shimanuki 1978)”

Herbert, E.W. Jr., and H. Shimanuki. (1978) Consumption and brood rearing
by caged honey bees fed pollen substitutes fortified with various sugars.
J. Apic. Res. 17:27-31.

However, after reading Todd’s post and then attending Allen’s sermon, this
is probably a moot point anyway. (Incidentally, I have not read the study.)

Regards,
Dick Allen
