>I am curious as to why it only reduces the infestation - I think ~60% was 
quoted.  If this is such a lethal process I would have expected to be 
somewhere very near 100%.

good question.

but, a even a 60% reduction would bring a 6% infestion down to 2.4%.

perhaps enough to get below threshold for varroasis.

i wonder if the owners will make the results of the field trials public like they did with remembee?
