Interesting article that is good in places but way off in others, 
especially in the "end of the world as we know it". But that is 
consistent with all these articles. Armageddon sells.

But no chemicals in hives before the mid 90's, a quote from Randy. There 
was the first, sulfur, which was around early in the last century, and 
fumidil, terra and a host of others for Tracheal, all well before Varroa 
and the mid 90s.
