<< Does anyone know a U.S. source for the generic form of Fumadil-B?  I
 believe the generic name is Bicyclohexylammonium Fumagillin.
 
 I am a hobbiest simply looking to save a few bucks, and am looking for
 relatively small quantities.  However, my local beekeeper association
 might be interested in bulk amounts if that's the only option.

There is only one manufacturer of fumidil in the world - the market is not
large enough to support two manufacturing plants. All suppliers of fumidil in
whatever form buy the raw product and mix it according to their own
formulations. You will not be able to cut out any middle man and make
significant savings for your association.
 
The whole story is quite complex. At one stage i considered doing an article
for the magazine I edit, Bee Biz, but a lot of detective work was involved,
and I have more and better things to do with my time.
