AMMONIA AND HONEY BEES
     A proposed indoor wintering facility wants to use the
cooling capacity of an existing cold storage freezer that uses
ammonia for cooling.  Evidently small leaks in valves and
fittings are common.  Does anyone have information about the
effect of ammonia on honey bees/bee colonies?  Thanks!
