Coated Corn Seed

[scorpionmain]

I am a first year bee keeper and second year gardener.
A co-worker just gave me some corn seed.
It is coated with a red substance, don't know what it is.
I am kinda of leery of it after reading about pesticides and CCD.
I don't wanna do something to hurt my bees.
Should I just throw this corn away?

All my corn seed was red. I think it's a fungicide. I don't think it affects the corn that grows above the ground. Here's some info on it:

Most farming related seeds and many garden seeds nowdays have this antifungal coating. I don't consider it a threat. Also, corn may be worked for pollen, but not for nectar.
