 Bees that were fed 10,000 ppm chlorine dioxide defecated
 excessively and died within 1 week. Compared with untreated
 bees there was no significant difference in consumption of
 food (sucrose solution) or water.
 
   Not useing that, sodium hypoclorite at 6%.  So   1/ 275 

.000218 concentration. Not sure how to relate that to ppm?   Dont seem tonhave issues with bees been doing it for more than a decade.   But no science to prove it.
