It seems Smart says the exact opposite of that prior discussion.  What experimental evidence is Smart's statement based on?  Which is desirable in honey bees, a high immune response based on the amount of immune chemicals found or a low immune response based on the same?

Smart:
high protein diets result in greater nutritional stores and a decreased immune response, i.e. a quieter (non-activated) immune system.
