Gordon's comment on water reminded me of a proposal that is generating
   some controversy here:
   The agency responsible for water quality is proposing to switch from
   regular chlorination of the water supply, to use of chloramine (maybe 2
   words). Apparently the water would be toxic to fish for much longer than
   is the case with regular chlorination.
 
   I hadn't considered the possible effect of syrup prepared from the
   water, on bees. Anyone have good information or experience  on this?
