Elroy,
I am only a hobby beekeeper but would love to see a good study of FGMO. There has
not been one. Granted, it may work. Seems to by the posts on this list, but that
means zero to me. There were similar testimonies on essential oils, followed years
later by disaster.
I will try it on a hive that I can afford to lose. Since I have not lost one hive
in the past two years and only one in the year when many were losing all their
hives, and I did not use FGMO, I will stay the course with Apistan and crisco
patties.
My main concern is that we northerners are in a low period for varroa. All the
hives that had mites died, so took the mite with them. As the mites rebound, and
they will, we will see another winter like the one three years ago, but probably
not for a couple of years. If those who use FGMO last through it with no losses,
then it will have proven itself. Until then, ease off on those of us who do not
follow the piper.
