> I checked with Google and found > only 2 references to miteacure. The actual product name spelling was "Miticur", which may work better in searching the interwebnets. As I recall, the last few stanzas in the Norse saga of Miticur was that some beekeepers in FL experienced losses which they blamed on Miticur, made loud angry noises, and hired an attorney. Hoechst-Roussel, who had just bought the product from Nor-Am Chemical, first did a recall circa 1993, and later decided that they did not need the hassle of defending a lawsuit, so they settled out of court with an unknown number of potential plaintiffs, and pulled out of the beekeeping industry, never to return. I'm sure that there is more intrigue and more plot twists than I remember in all this, but I was not paying much attention, as I don't think the Section 18 ever got approved in many states, and the product was pulled before any attempt was made to get a Section 3 registration (general release). *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
