Yes Max,
 I must agree with Aaron.  Moreover,  I cant find anything in the literature which is
specific to  varroa of this nature.  Perhaps you are using similar pheromones
related to other mite species ?   Since the Phenovar trade mark was registered in
Jan 2000 and the patent is now pending can you not tell us more, where is the
scientific  proof that Phenovar TM works?
