> There is research done on acidification of syrup fed to hives. Whether it can be repeated by others, is the issue.

Agreed. I don't see this as a pressing issue, but her protocol is very basic and easy to repeat. So I now have my first research initiative for 2020 when I will have the time, resources, and (hopefully) hives necessary to run the experiment. I can run checks to see what the pH is at that level in the feed. If I get a result similar to hers, then I can dose range the pH to see the effects, per Bill's observation.

I wonder if Heinz would sponsor it?  ;o)
