I noticed that my bees go nuts for the coffee in my compost pile. They dive into it in hords and pay no attention to any other scraps. My question is what is there in the coffee that they seem to appreciate so much? And then, is coffee good for them?
Could it be that something they want so badly is unhealthy for them? I don't think so...
And the association of coffee growing in tropical lands were mites resistant africanized bees survive... comes to mind. Could it be this simple?
Give it a try... Just place your paper coffee filter from yesterday with the (dry is best) coffee grounds in it, close to the hives and see what I mean...
