If bees utilize salt from the landing board, or from the spools in the rabbit hutches, I'd guess they'd also be likely to visit the salt block we have in the field for the cattle. It's one of the yellow ones that contains other minerals--I don't think it contains medication, but it may. Could the bees' use of this salt block be a problem for them, or for their honey? John E.
