Hi Allen and other fellow Bee-L'ers:
      I now realize what Allen is saying. Because of large scale controversy in my earlier years with FGMO research, I have depended on
Barry's generosity, and posted my contributions to beesource.com hoping
that the animosity would ease with time as progress with FGMO showed its
worth.
      Strangely enough, I started FGMO research based on my original
veterinary work with mineral oil for the treatment of mites in rabbits and cats, and as an alternative to Crisco patties for honey bees.  My great surprise came when I stumbled unto the Burgess Fogger and realized that it worked very well for applying mineral oil. Yet, my best surprise came when I realized that because of the size of the oil particle,(15 microns), the bees were breathing the oil and taking it directly to the location of the mites, to their trachea, without the least harm to the bees and yet soon discovered that the tracheal mites were gone. Applying mineral oil with a Burgess Fogger is not only effective, but also easy and economical. FGMO can be applied to thousands of hives (right though the hive entrance) in a fraction of the time that it takes to apply other treatments, with less work and without disturging the bees.
     It is hoped that Bee-L readers will visit beesource.com for recent
information on FGMO research. As always, I am available to provide information regarding FGMO to those who may wish to have more specifics beyond the information posted on beesource.com
      Best reagrds.
      Dr. Rodriguez
