The last product with a similar pledge was sued by beekeepers for bee loss 
and went quickly off the market. CCD diffinition keeps changing so the 
product is leaving itself wide open for lawsuits.

However located in another country protects to a degree.

The target consumer seems to be hobby 1-10 hives and the news media.

honey Bee healthy (HBH )should have taught snake oil salesmen a lessen.

Once the product is released (like HBH) the product most likely will be 
reverse engineered and the formula will be on the  net. (didn't know the 
formula for HBH has been on the net for years? Wow! ).

I admit I tried HBH after I found out the ingredients (from the internet) 
but was never the product as the hype said.

Certainly not worth the price.

Thanks for posting Eric! With the current situation in the Heartland I 
needed a good laugh!
