Don't use CS on bees until you check it out.
I may be wrong, but I think this was a big No-No.

Warning, Wendy! Don't try to use CS with your honeybees. It will
destroy the gut bacteria the bees depend upon for digestion and they
will starve. One of our members found this out the hard way some years

Hi Wendy,
As for using CS in beekeeping, I would definitely not do it based on what
I've read here. Most of the diseases and parasites wouldn't be likely to
respond anyway since they're not bacterial. From what I've heard however
