Bob ,this is the first I have heard of this.A quick google search brought
up this info:

Seems it is sprayed on the combs in a water solution.It is a contact poison
with little residual action so 3 treatments are required.Very labor
intensive,but that seems to be the trend.Any data on toxicity to the bees
or brood?
