It seems that there is a possible link between feeding bees high fructose corn syrup and colony collapse disorder.A team of entomologists from the University of Illinois studying the collapse of honeybee colonies around the world say that their findings indicate that by eating the replacement food instead of honey, the bees are not being exposed to other chemicals that help the bees fight off toxins, such as those found in pesticides.
The team outlines their research and findings in a paper they've had published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
