Help!
 
I am trying to track down some information on the effects of
chloramine (NH-2Cl) on the biology of honeybees.  One of the
local water districts has had an enquiry (complaint?) from a
beekeeper. The beekeeper is concerned about the use of chloramine
for treatment of domestic water supplies.  He uses domestic water
to make up sugar solutions, and, I suppose, as a water supply for
the bees.  The chloramine is added to the domestice water
supply at 1.0 mg/l.  The people I have contacted are not aware
of any data on the subject.
 
 
Any thoughts/information out there??  Many thanks for anything
you can provide.
