The new product is Hivastan.  It is a gel containing fenpyroximate--a 
pyrizole mitochonrial inhibitor.  The active ingredient is an 
agricultural contact miticide.  Hivastan is 85-95% effective.  But it is 
lipid soluble, and "very stable."--Welmark doesn't know about buildup in 
combs, but assume it will.
