Thanks.  That helps.

What I am looking for now is specific recommendations for treatment, giving
doses, frequency of treatment, season, number of treatments, ambient
conditions required, if any, etc.

I would imagine that application must take place at temperatures sufficient
that the bees are not clustered, but when most bees are likely to be home.
It appears that the treatment for 8 or more times in the most recent work.

Has anyone with experience using the technique generated any parameters and
instructions on how to apply this method in non-experimental situations?
