I am always amazed researchers never seem to grasp why beekeepers do many of the things they do.

The main selling point for fumidil was research which found bees lives were shortened by around two weeks.

THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF LIFE

 WHEN HONEY FLOW IS ON?

Every bottle of fumidil B said was true.

Hmmm?

Although we were talking about nosema apis back then
Many commercial beekeepers with a calculator could see one could increase honey yield with fumidil B.

Years ago i cosidered the reason bees in the Peace River district (Canada) produced higher production than similar areas in the Dakotas was the fact.those.beekeepers.fed.fumidil B.over winter keeping.nosema under control at all times.

Because (similar to CCD) the bees (claimed by makers of fumigillon) die in the field the only way to prove such claims would by by treating some and some not.

At times so much fumigillon is sold in the U.S. supply houses are sold out.

The product would be cheaper is produced inthe U.S. due to exchange money issue.

Years ago was cheaper because the exchange rate was better for U.S. beekeepers.
