One of the British Beekeepers magazines "Beecraft" has published a letter
from a reader suggesting the use of hydrofluoric acid for fumigation of
beehives to kill wax moth.
 
I know it is a very dangerous compound to use and safety data sheets on the
product bear this out.
 
Does anybody have any comments on its effectiveness or specific dangers and
risks to humans or to bees or bee products before I formulate a reply to
this magazine?
 
Thanks for any help.
