> bacteria that deliver protective and beneficial benefits to both bees and
humans, were not found in bee’s honey stomach during the winter months when

There are lots of changes in the hive during winter. To suggest without
further evidence, and no controls, that the sucrose feeding was the cause of
some effect may be rather specious. I'm waiting for some actual data before
I give this claim credence.
