> I don't use salt at all.  You're the first to ever mention it.

Actually, we did quite a go-round on this topic in the archives.  The
upshot was that nobody could say which salts, in which amounts were good
for bees and which salts, in which amounts were toxic.  The books
mentioned some salts are toxic, but weren't too specific on amounts, so
most of us who consider ourselves 'prudent' decided that -- since we did
not know -- and since bees do fine without added salts -- that we would
not use something we did not understand.
