I might add because Monsanto and Bayer people read the list they might take a hint from a beekeeper and send reps to national meetings to:
Take a look at the resolutions which year after year go unresolved and see if they could help.
Monsanto &Bayer are powerful with lawyers on staff and lobbyists in Washington.
If commercial beekeepers could see those powerful companies helping to push through new oxalic &formic regs then could perhaps form better relations.
Simply put better tools to use in controlling pests and disease.
While I am dreaming.
Bayer could buy the Fumagilin B contract from Medivet &
Bring into production in the U.S. and see if could be improved on for nosema ceranae in bees.
(Sorry Medhat! )
The research on improving might lead to a new registered and better product.
Old research on nosema apis done in Canada is out dated.
Beekeepers need new research done on nosema ceranae
In the south . A year around study.

Bob harrison
Retired beekeeper
