Annette,
The point of the Santa Group is to do a bit of science by testing, observing and comparing results. Why not feed one colony with it and compare it with an unfed control? Also check for insoluble residues.
My guess is that it would give them dysentery, but that's only a guess and not based on experience or observation, which you are in a position to carry out. Please experiment if you are willing and let us know. Another guess is that a touch of dysentery will do them no great harm at this time of year when they can fly to defecate, but again I might be wrong.

Chris. The blocks are a treacly brown colour and are a bit like fondant. I have not had it analysed. But assume that if it is sold in an Asian shop and also in supermarkets who do "foreign" foods, it cannot be harmful. I am sure that the Asian community must use it in cooking or for making sweets.Annette----- Original Message -----
