Dear Robert:
     I have been using Food Grade Mineral Oil successfully for the last 15
months for the
treatment of bee mites.  I have not attempted the use of any other oil(s)
for the reasons which I have listed in my files posted to Bee-L and on the
web page of Barry Birkey.
{Besides the fact that I have found that FGMO is effective against both bee
mites), I have not tried other oil(s) because I understand that to do so
would require authorization which I am not aware that anyone hs received up
to this time and date.
     I would be interested in knowing the results those that have performed
tests with other than mineral oil.
Sincerely.
Dr. Rodriguez
