   The archives show 172 posts mentioning formic acid and honey. Some call
formic a naturally occurring substance, which makes the case that it is an
organic treatment. Others denouce it as just another chemical in our hives
polluting our natural product (honey).
   My question: can anyone give a definitive answer as to whether formic acid
can be  considered an "organic" treatment for varroa because it is a
naturally occuring substance?
