Regarding Keith Delaplane's presentation:

First, sorry about the typo, I wrote my summary from scribbled post it notes. I can offer this additional info, but so far as I know, nothing is published yet

> Commonly used miticides were chosen for this study: coumaphos, fluvalinate, and amitraz. Method of application for the miticides was Check Mite PlusTM, (coumaphos), Apistan® strips (fluvalinate), Taktic® (amitraz), and Maverick (fluvalinate). 

> Using Taktic® and Maverick in honey bee colonies is illegal but has widespread use among the beekeeping community; therefore we felt it was important to include it in our study. An additional chemical is being studied - copper naphthenate which is applied to bee hive equipment as a wood preservative. A total of six treatments are involved with one being a control.
