I know from experience if it's not a USDA or State approved chemical for varroa mites I'm staying away from it.
I raise and sell bees and queens, and have to be inspected every 90 days.
I put something in there that's not approved and they'll shut me down quick.

Ashlee Robisin's research sounds promising. I don't like the idea of chemicals at all in anything I eat or feed my family. My animals are my family also. I agree with Jim in the chemical free idea of raising bees. If the Asian bees have lived with this mite maybe that's what we need to look at. Just a thought. Perhaps it's been looked at. If so, please excuse my ignorance.
