The two statements are factual, but not directly related.
So, this time i'm afraid you don't know what you are talking about.
I know what I am talking. I am graduated in biochemistry in university. And I know enought about issue what a beekeeprs needs.
In Helsinki tapwater hardenes is 1,5. I have succeeded to rear neontetra aquarium fish eggs to adult fish in that water. I have rearer too one heard of cardinal tetra too from eggs. Try to find somebody whoi has done that.
We have in Finland quite acid and soft waters in nature. Tap water pH is justified because it prevents corrosion of metal tubes. Joints leaks copper if raw water is not justed.
Helsinki water factory uses 14 chemicals whn it treats lake water to tap water.
I have seen that chemistry skills are out of poor in this forum. Awfull level.

Bees need not any special things. You just mix tap water and sugar.

WIKI: The Päijänne Water Tunnel (Päijänne is a lake) located in Southern Finland, is
the world's second longest continuous rock tunnel (after the Delaware Aqueduct in the USA). It is 120 kilometers (75 mi) long and runs 30–100 meters under the surface in bedrock. The purpose of the tunnel is to provide fresh water for the million plus people in Southern Finland in the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Hyvinkää, Järvenpää, Kerava, Kauniainen, Kirkkonummi, Sipoo, and Tuusula. The former Porvoo Rural Municipality, now merged with the municipality of Porvoo, also took part in the building of the scheme but has never drawn water from it for domestic use.
