User's notes
These Honeybees were feeding on a "mystery" white crystaline substances, sprinkled liberally on the ground, 1-2 kg, which we suspect to be white sugar ? A used Coffee cup was nearby. Any ideas why anyone may be sprinkling "sugar" in a Nature Reserve, Yellow Box / Red Gum grassy woodland ? All ideas welcome. Watson near Clancy's Track.
