You may well have hit on something worth investigating. I have
witnessed honeybees harvesting corn pollen (see Karl's email, below).

Hi,

I know nothing about bees. Why would honeybees harvest corn pollen? I
always thought that bees harvested nectar, and pollination was a side effect
of their efforts to collect nectar. Since there is no nectar associated
with corn, and it is wind pollinated, I am confused.

Later,
Tom
