Dear Friends:
By now most of you must have read the post from Karel Bokhorst regarding
FG mineral oil.  Needless to say, I spent last weekend preparing a
presentation paper to the FDA and a host of Congressmen asking for a
reprieve.  I am glad that will not be needed.  My work with mineral oil
continues to produce positive results as a method of control for bee
mites.  I have not lost a single colony to bee mites (or bee diseases)
since I started using mineral oil.  I will continue in search of
application methods that may make the use of mineral oil suitable for
commercial beekeeping.  To those of you who have written in reference to
this subject, thanks for your concern.  Special thanks to Karel Bokhorst
for his efforts looking into the subject.  He saved me a lot of worries,
legwork and embarrassment.
Best regards.
