All our *Apple nectar* goes in the brood box. Apparently in China the bees
produce honey from a plant/tree which is sprayed with streptomycin heavily
for fire blight (and possibly when in bloom).

However the most likely streptomycin contamination comes from use of
streptomycin for bee disease and saying the contamination was picked up in
the orchard by the bees.

Once the spray has dried I hardly see how enough could be on the blossoms to
cause the scale of contamination talked about as we spray between bud swell
and quarter  -inch green tip before the blossoms open up. I have not had to
spray for fireblight for about seven years. I have been cutting out the
fireblight when I see the fireblight.
