Any body knows the dose for pollen cobalt 60 gamma ratiation? Any one have references? This is not a common procedure here at Chile. I am talking with a company that have the facilities but do not know the recommended dose. Base on a short google search 15 kilo gray should be enough. http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/dpi/nreninf.nsf/LinkView/49C3EAB260F417E7CA2573AF0009529126181E79F5B05B3F4A256DEA0027399A/$file/Beekeeping_and_the_Livestock_Disease_Control_Act_1994.pdf "Territories for feeding to Victorian honey bee colonies must be gamma-irradiated at 15 Kilo Gray before or immediately after introduction to Victoria. Irradiation kills disease organisms and leaves the pollen safe to feed to healthy colonies." -- Juanse Barros J. APIZUR S.A.
