Thank you Peter you comparing potatos to apples all examples you up to now
quoted 
Are faling into BLAST/FLASH methods wich use The owerdose  principle and
changes of ambient temperatures causing damage I did not like that on KRAMER
plate predicesor of MITEAWAY. 
So I selected the LOW DOSE CONTINUOUSE RELEASE method dezigned 
Comercialy usable dispenser which doesnot causes ahy harm to bees.
May be you shod buy one of my DVD and you will know the diference 
betveen two systams.
