Bob we already are moving on having chemicals "shelf registered" so that 
when varroa gets here it is just a matter of the stroke of a pen to have 
them legal.

I am part of a Committee that has commented on the first draft of the 
application for "shelf registration".  It will go to the appropriate 
authorities for approval.  We do not anticipate any problems with getting 
"shelf registration".
