Do bees like Soda(root beer, 7-Up etc)? Is it good for them?

They like anything sweet. No, it isn't good for them. It contains corn starch.

Its also the Highftruitos corn syurps as well not the corn starch. HFCS are bad for bees and humans.

Honey is a mixture of different types of sugars, water, and small amounts of other compounds. Honey typically has a fructose/glucose ratio similar to HFCS 55, as well as containing some sucrose and other sugars. Like HFCS, honey contains water and has approximately 3 kcal per gram. Because of its similar sugar profile and lower price, HFCS is used as bee feed instead of honey during the winter.

Wynoochee_new, Allen is correct. Commercial beeks buy hfcs by the semi tanker load to feed bees. It is the corn starch that gives the bees dysentery.

they seem to like beer also.
no reason to believe that HFCS is any worse for humans than white sugar. all things in moderation.
