So, is the "flux" -- agricultural pesticide use? or toxic nectar?
or pesticides used by beekeepers?

or perhaps, the ancient meaning of general sickness unknown?

One of the first seems likely from your reply (although I will
admit, I assumed the latter upon reading your post), but I am
still unclear as to what should be abated.

The inquiry implies I may have assumed too much about how widely the term
'flux', as used by physicists, is understood.  It is a flow per unit area.
I was using the term loosely.  I meant a flow of toxic substance impinging
on bees.  'Toxic dosing' would have done.
