I will be interested on your view after you have varroa established (Not 
that I'm wishing that on you anytime soon).  I used it occasionally with 
package bees (depending on the spring in California), but after we 
started wintering bees, a number of us "never" used Fumagilin until 
after varroa arrived.  Now it almost seems to be a must.  Some years one 
treatment, others seem to require multiple doses spring and/or fall.
