Dear Friends.
Seems to me that since I am the "originator" for the use of FGMO for the
treatment of bee mites, that it is appropriate to relay a message sent to me by a
Bee-L recipient about a source for FGMO.  I would like to suggest that recipients
of this message "open" and read the attached file because it gives indeed one of
the best descriptions of FGMO that I have been able to find. I consider it one of
the "must read attachments" sent on this list.  Reading this file should put to
rest some of the ???? that many of you have regarding FGMO.
 
Also, in defense of the use of FGMO, I would like to add for the benefit of those
who have not read my files that, the use of FGMO did not happen by accident.  It
took a lot of work and conscientious study.  I did not reveal my findings until I
was sure that it worked and that it was safe to use.
 
In my humble opinion, to paraphrase the words of one of our frequent contributors
to the list, I think that it is highly unfair to lump FGMO in the general
classification of a PESTICIDE because it meets the general definition given in
the dictionary.
 
Beekeepers who contribute to this list should bear in mind that this list is open
to the "whole wide world" and that there are a lot of very sensitive "readers"
out there in cyberspace who may misconstrue our barbs.  Insensitive comparisons
may give a connotation to a product that may be very much in need in the fight
against the terrible bee mites. Without infiinging on personal rights to freedom
of speech, I truly believe that disparaging remarks of this type are a disservice
to beekeeping and that they should be kept "in-house" for our private consumption
rather than dispensing them freely on the net.
 
I would like to suggest that flames, barbs, questions and other pertinent
comments regarding FGMO be sent to my private e-mail address.  I gladly spend
hours on end answering questions on this subject.  More of the same, regardless
of how many, will not deter me from replying. I'll always be here to assist in
whatever I may.
 
In addition to the source of FGMO given on the attached file, I would like to add
another source contact.
