Good day all,
did a little inquiring as to what was going on in Europe through a friend
and a German beek replied.
Bayer and Syngenta are still being blamed for the SPRAYS that are being
used now that coated stuff is banned.  Some bee institute near Braunschweig
was analyzing the dead hives.
The remaining translated he states:
To formic acid [FA]:
"Many beeks here don't use FA anymore as there is an idea that the Varroa
have become resistant to that. Therefore, many use oxalic acid which is a
bit more aggressive on the brood."

Some here in Canada use oxalic in the fall as a secondary treatment and
definitely not when brood is present.
But resistance to Formic,

Anyone????
