Hello Dennis & All,
Excellent post Dennis! Welcome back! I have missed your posts!
The problem is not only U.S. but worse in third world countries others
around the world report.
In the U.S. the researchers contributed to the problem in the late 80's by
experimenting using the sheep dip products on sticks and writing about
results in the bee magazines (before the first chemical strip was made
available in the U.S.). Many even told beekeepers the formula but felt
justified as tens of thousands of hives were crashing with the first arrival
of varroa.
Since then many poorly informed beekeepers have as Dennis says tried to dip
sticks in about every chemical found around the farm to kill varroa!
Zoecon the maker of Apistan has told beekeepers from the start at bee
meetings without the *exact formula* you can kill bees, brood , contaminate
wax or create super varroa mites by over or underdosing.
