Hi Bob and all,

I know of a man in Phoenix that has 150 hives. He treats

75 with FGMO and 75 with powdered sugar and garlic

powder. He has been doing this for 3 years without mites.

I feel he is telling the truth about not having any mites.

I did not treat with anything except FGMO in the Spring

and this fall. I have seen very little sign of mites. I did a

wash in August and only found 3 or 4 mites in the pan.

I treated Spring of 2003 with Apistan and in the Fall of

2003 with Check-mite.

Lionel
