I was simply asking for some data or a metabolic mechanism to support the
assertion that antibiotics fed to otherwise healthy bees might "increase production"

In livestock the effects are noticed, even if no one knows what the mechanism is. I suggested a parallel in the feeding of antibiotics and increased production. See:

Woyke, J. (1984). Increase in life-span, unit honey productivity and honey surplus with fumagillin treatment of honeybees. Journal of Apicultural Research, 23.
