From drenching bees with syrup with fumidil mixed in? ( Eric Mussen)
Acetic acid fumigation was discussed at the National bee meeting "nosema
seminar" by the USDA-ARS . I have got the CD Peter.
Beekeeping is a very small industry.
Dave hackenberg statement from the National convention:
" There are only around 1200 commercial beekeepers. Not enough people to
even hold an election in a small town"
Getting label changes and things registered is simply not possible many
times plus time is usually of concern.
To stay legal I approach my local vet for authorization to use a product to
control a problem concerning an antibiotic or even parasites.
I raise some exotic livestock ( sort of long time hobby/business) for which
there is not registered label products. He sells me the antibiotics and
parasite meds I need. Which he has the power to do.

I hope they are and hope other beeks find the information useful!

Pesticides have always caused the commercial beekeeper problems but are not
the sole cause of CCD. Nor is N. ceranae in my opinion. Only parts of a
complicated picture.
