I do not know why I am taking the risk to jump in the
arena. Just for the fun of pleasant debates I guess...

It appears FGMO efficiency quadrature will not be
solved today. Yet I have a question in my mind since 3
years about it :

How does FGMO fogging work ?

The last hypothesis I remember was that droplets
prevent varroas from breathing. If so, why results
seems to vary so much from one test to another ?
Adding another anecdote to the pile : I have measured
varroas on oily coroplast every 24h before fogging for
3 days and then 5 hrs, 12 hrs, and 24 hrs after
fogging. I have not measured any significativ increase
of fallen mites with FGMO alone. But it was just me,
doing a couple of tests on a couple of hives. I do not
claim for any conclusion. But I am wondering if
struggling is the real mechanism. And if they can't
breath because of FGMO, why bee larvea can ?

drizzling is known to work when there is no brood,
applied by a scientist or non scientist... ;-)
