Excuse me for saying so, but that is BS. We have always talked about unproven unapproved methods here. This is an international group and much of what is illegal in one country is allowed in another. Furthermore, everybody knows tons of beekeepers are using all sorts of unapproved stuff everywhere.

For example, chlorine was suggested as a method of controlling nosema. I would like to know more about that. Did that work? I probably would have no qualms about using it if I thought it worked. The regulators are far too slow to respond to our problems to maintain any semblance of credibility. 

If you think you have a method that saves bees and you don't share it, you miss the point of free discussion on the internet. It isn't to spread gossip and rumor, but to get the word out.
