In 2012 the borage I pollinated was sprayed with a new *systemic*
fungicide.  I forget the name at the moment, but when I searched it I could
not find much about how it would affect beebread fermentation.

I thought that systemic fungicides was something new, but then I saw this
abstract

Systemic Fungicides: Disease Control, Translocation, and Mode of ActionAnnual
Review of Phytopathology
Vol. 11: 389-422 (Volume publication date September 1973)
DOI: 10.1146/annurev.py.11.090173.002133

I was surprised to see the 1973 date.
