Bee trials:
| Treatment | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| None | Somewhat lethargic. Drank when prompted. | Appeared tired, but otherwise unaffected. |
| 0.00% | Most lethargic, did not eat when offered | Wet and slow moving. |
| 0.05% | Very vigorous; ran around inside the tube. Fed. | Very energetic. Unaffected by treatment. |
| 0.2% | Very vigorous; ran around inside the tube. Fed. | Slightly less energetic than the 0.05% bee. |
The bees will be able to survive all of the oxalic acid that the E.coli can produce.
