I think that is the real appeal for using fgmo and 'soft chemicals' like
formic and oxalic.That was my sole motivation for trying fgmo.I wish it had
been effective.We all want to get away from residues even if they are only
parts per billion.I think we are going to get there soon as the mites
continue to be selected for resistance to miticides.I also think honey
production is going to get more labor intensive and expensive.I just hope
people are willing to pay for the increased costs.
