 Thanks for the extremely thorough discussion of copper and bees. One question remains: as an informed scientist, what do you
 think about hormesis?

 Also, what is your take on this advertisement for copper gluconate:

 With Happy Hive Salts the pure image of honey can remain intact.
 Not only are the salts guaranteed safe and reliable they also extend the foraging life of the
 honeybees due to `hormesis` protecting them from pesticides and leading to a better honey crop
 .No other Varroa treatment does this.
