Hello All:
 
After watching this Vmite thread I have some questions (this may be
because I am new to the list) about treatment of bees.
 
First what are authorized or approved products for treating bees in
the U.S.?
 
Secondly how does one define treatment?  Is it changed by whether
the honey is being harvested for human consumption?
 
The reason I ask these questions is because of a thought progression
I had a few days ago.  For example if I open a hive and shake table
salt on the bees, am I by definition treating them with an unapproved
chemical?  If I put vitamin E (approved for human consumption) in the
syrup one feeds to bees are the bees being treated with an unapproved
product?
 
For those of you out there who know I would like to know how you see
it.
 
Thank You
