Wouldn't longer winters, more consistent cold without cleansing flights
account for much greater spore accumulation the individual bee and colony.

 

A study that shows lack of increased survival or improved heath seems to be
the clincher that treatment has no value. 

 

It's also disturbing that the Fumagilin-B producers are permitted to make
such untrue claims in their adds.  Why would they boast safety at 75 times
recommended dose!?
