has any research on your method been done? I made a call and the researcher 
said your concentration was to low a concentration to have any valuable 
effect on N. ceranae spores. Also worried about the bees storing and then 
the acetic acid getting into honey.

Please don't kill the messenger Juanse! You can treat as you like but I 
needed to get a researcher opinion on your posting. Otherwise many beeks 
will be dumping acetic acid in their syrup. 80% glacial acetic acid is a far 
cry from 5% vinegar.
