I usually stay out of the exchange of anecdotal name calling. With
regard to this one, I do have a relevant authority to quote. Last night
I was discussing the use of Tartaric acid for bees with my Father who
has a Doctors degree in Pharmacy. It seems that the aforementioned acid
is well known for it's laxative properties. Taken to excess it can be
described as DYSENTERY.
I have found the amount of anecdotal nonsense in our profession/hobby
is rampant. I have come to the conclusion over the years...
You can always tell when someone is a beekeeper...you just can't tell
him much
