>Out of curiosity have you gone back and looked at the slides over time
(say in a incubator ) to see if there is a change in the crystal's geometry
when it converts back to dihydrate?

No, haven't.  And I have no reason to think that those crystals aren't
already dihydrate.

I have found that OA spontaneously degrades when I store dead, dry bees
that have OA on their cuticle.  I will be following up on this
observation.  No need for more questions at this time, I'll let you all
know when I learn more.
