Wouldn't longer winters, more consistent cold without cleansing flights account for much greater spore accumulation the individual bee and colony. A study that shows lack of increased survival or improved heath seems to be the clincher that treatment has no value. It's also disturbing that the Fumagilin-B producers are permitted to make such untrue claims in their adds. Why would they boast safety at 75 times recommended dose!? *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
