Is Bee-Quick Safe For Bees?
If you have a pair of observation hives, simply expose the bees in one observation hive at regular intervals to enough Bee-Quick to induce a noticeable reaction, while marking newly-emerged bees to be able to record the average lifespan of a statistically significant number of bees. As a control, have a second observation hive that is never exposed to Bee-Quick, but otherwise treated identically. We have not seen any difference between test-subject and control hives over many generations of bees. We are open to proposals from interested and credentialed researchers who might do more professional studies, suitable for publication. (Of course, the researchers would want us to fund the study, but if we were to fund the study, that would raise questions about the impartiality of the study, so we suspect that beekeeper experience will be the final legitimate word on this subject.)
