How much ascorbic acid?  If, as I suspect, it is a tiny amount,
I can't imagine that the bees would mind, as some people add all
sorts of strange concoctions to their bee feed on one excuse or
another, and often in amounts that might seem excessive.

I think that the most common anti-mold bee-feed additive is
vinegar, with some people adding as much as 1/4-cup to a
5-gallon batch of feed.  Vinegar is a dilute (10% to 20%)
acetic acid solution.

The peach juice should be a no-brainer - there's nothing in pure
peach juice that would hurt a bee in the least, no matter what
the concentration.  Bees love to forage in fall on fruit that has
fallen to the ground and rotted.
