I would guess as an anti-caking agent. There are apparently no restrictions on its use in the EU.

The point is to get the stinger out without squeezing or pulling, which increases the odds of more venom entering the wound. But there is a small problem. Multiple studies have found that when it comes to treating bee stings, it is time, not method, that makes the difference. One study, published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, demonstrated this several years ago. In it, researchers collected honeybees and provoked them into stinging disks made from filter paper and other surfaces, which they weighed at different intervals in the stinging process. At the end of the study, the researchers pooled their results and found that on average a stinger released 90 percent of its venom within 20 seconds… THE BOTTOM LINE Scraping away a stinger has no advantage over grabbing or pulling it. Only speed makes a difference. -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info --- ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 15:23:10 GMT Reply-To: Informed Discussion of Beekeeping Issues and Bee Biology Sender: BEE-L@listserv.albany.edu From: "waldig@netzero.com" Subject: Bee attractions in Chicago area?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="Windows-1252"; reply-type=original Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Waldemar- Two thoughts come to mind right away - One in Chicago, one farther north. City Hall, in downtown Chicago has a roof-top garden that includes a couple of colonies of bees. I don't know what access is allowed, but I would expect an interested visitor could arrange something. North of Chicago, near Milwaukee (maybe an hour and a half drive) is the Honey Museum in the town of Ashippun, Wisconsin (http://www.honeyacres.com/). Run by Honey Acres, they have been in business for five generations. They brought bees to the area with them in 1852 and when I stopped in earlier this year, the elder member of the family mentioned that his grandson was now starting in the family business. It is well done for a private museum. Also, in the first suburb north of Chicago there is a debate brewing over keeping bees within the city limits of the city of Evanston. I don't know the schedule of events organized by the city and the Illinois State Beekeepers Association, but if you are interested in sitting in with them, contact Ken Haller (kenhaller@comcast.net) and he can fill you in. The largest beekeepers association in the state of Illinois is located near Chicago - the Cook-DuPage Beekeepers Association. If you would like to contact them you might try John Hansen (beehansen@juno.com). I believe they meet on the third Saturday of the month. Enjoy Chicago, it is a busy city, but a fun place to visit with lots to do.
