Hello Brian & All
Brian said;
>I received some information today that some of the CCD losses had been fed
Fumidil.
All losses have been lumped together now and word of the national
organizations trying for a package replacement has passed through the
industry.
However up until the Dec. 15th. report NONE OF THE CCD die off beekeepers
had used Fumidil. Please look on page 5 (of the 22 page report)
Under the heading feeding
A. carbohydrates:
" Some added antibiotics , NONE used Fumagillan"

The first cases looked at by the CCD team all were similar symptoms . Now
many want onboard wanting whatever funds which may or may not be passed out!
Now I expect to see a big increase in CCD reports.
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
