What are the effects of feeding ascorbic acid (AA)? How do various concentrations and feeding methods compare? It would be nice to be able to add an amount of AA based on price/effectiveness.

Here are some studies on feeding sugar syrup with different AA concentrations and what they suggest.

1. 1:1 syrup was fed with 0, 2, 4, and 6 g AA/L syrup. There was more brood at 2 g/L.
2. 3:1 syrup was fed with 0 and 1.8 mg AA/kg syrup. Losses were lower with AA.
3. This seems the same as study 2, but 1.8 g AA/kg syrup was used. AA helped with mites.
