"Bottom line, in normal situations, there is sufficient copper and zinc for bee health. Adding zinc may result in bee toxicity and/or metallothionein protein production."

Jerry...based on your extensive knowledge of this topic, what are the nutrients that bees are most likely deficient in as a probable result of carbohydrate loading due to CO2 growth stimulation  (if bees are deficient in anything) and what would be the right way to supplement them?

I am reminded of apple orchards, where so-called "supplements" turned the earth into superfund sites.
