Has the Irish government had their heads so far in the sand (or elsewhere)
that they figured varroa would never show up and therefore had no plan for
dealing with it?
 
Do they have a treatment plan or is this the best they can come up with?
 
Geez...seems sort of senseless given that varroa has been around elsewhere
for some period of time.
