> PETER I already sent you twice the RUTERS UNIVERSITY REASERCH  NO BROOD OR DAMAGE TO BEES WAS FOUND.

I checked through both of those papers and found NO discussion of bee mortality other than a couple of colonies died from mites. NO mention of bee mortality does not mean there was no bee mortality, just that they didn't look. 

I am not saying that a product has to be harmless to bees. If a method kills mites and hurts very few bees, it's a good one. What I am saying is you can't claim a product hurts NO bees, if you haven't even checked. 

If you make unsupported statements, it calls into question everything else you say.

Pete
