How "old"?

Look at the list of ingredients. It probably includes glycerin and a few E numbers.

Save it for cakes.

Royal icing can contain all sorts from egg white to various oils, not sure I'd want to use it. Easy enough to make fondant, shirley?

Thanks for all the replies

Icing sugar generally contains an anti cake agent at about 2% silicon hexacyanofurrate. Ok for human consumption. Don't know about bees though. Given how cheap sugar is vrs value of bees why risk it?
