Hi all
This is another example of dubious correlation. I was recently told that a nearby beekeeper had used probiotics and had the "best looking bees in years." Meanwhile, my own bees suffered as badly as Charles that year and look as good as this other guy's this year. I used neither oxalic nor probiotics, so I doubt that either caused the effects being reported. People should think more broadly and look for the big picture.
