I would like to propose that some members of Bee-L get organized and try
to
get MO approved by FDA and EPA as a miticide without the help from some
big
chemical company.  Let's make use of ongoing university research programs
and private beekeepers around the world.  No more crap about MO not being
harmful to human beings, THAT'S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.  Knapweed isn't
directly harmful to human beings.  This would require determining the
effects of MO on the environment that the application as a miticide would
release it into.  Here are some examples of what needs to be studied:
 
The list that was posted a couple weeks ago is a good start.  Let's be
proactive here.  If MO solves the mite problem, then lets use all of our
technology to prove it.  If MO won't solve the problem, or only masks a
bigger problem, careful study will prevent the unwarranted application of
MO.  Only when all questions have been answered should the use of MO
continue.  Any furthur discussion of what MO can do or how many hives it
has saved is pointless until progess is made on obtaining government
approval for its use and the method of action on the mites is pinpointed.
 
Hand-waving doesn't work, repeating unsupported claims only annoys
people.
Name calling only fuels flame wars.  As far as MO is concerned, it would
be
wise to either put up or shut up, i.e., if you can prove how it works and
that it will not introduce a greater problem than the mites already have
presented, then it should be used, but if not, then it is no more
effective
than a 19th century elixar.
