" I am swamped with reports about how minuscule amounts help mites in sub
lethal doses...  All garbage science."

Why is this garbage?  Do you mean to say that synergisic effects between
mites and chemicals vis-a-vis their effects on bees is impossible?

As a Scientist this should be an easy answer,  because you can't quantify or
show it.  If you can explain your point with data  I am on board.  
Other than that its purely conjecture.  
If I eat to much salt with supper I have to pee in the middle of the night,
it's a theory.  Not cause and effect.

I defiantly belive its possible,and probable.  but that's not what we are
seeing in writing. What we are seeing is the term "sub lethal effects:
killing off hives.  Its printed 3 times in Jan ABJ.  Absolutely no evidence
of it what so ever.  Just used as a tag line.  

I would be tickled to see a different value other than LD50.  But what I
really want to know is how much is in my bees  and how much is in bees in
areas that don't have any exposure.
