If you read it, I said "IF". I said IF it doesn't do anything. I didn't say it doesn't. Also, I was talking about N. ceranae, which is all we are concerned about now, since the other seems to have dropped below detection limits. Traver and Fell state
> Fall fumagillin treatments and winter stimulative pollen feeding were compared. Neither treatment significantly lowered N. ceranae levels in colonies sampled 3-6 months later, nor did they significantly improve colony survival.
That's plain English, too. Anyway, I am just trying to stimulate discussion and get to the facts, not make a case
