The only formic acid product legally allowed in Germany is the Illertissener plate. As a registered chemical the Illertissener plate is only allowed to be sold by a pharmacist (maybe there are exceptions for re-sellers), or distributed by beekeeping clubs. So, I am sorry, I do not have a adress for the Illertissener plate. ____________________________________________________________________ Michael Haberl Zoologisches Institut der Uni Muenchen Tel: ++49 89 5902-444 Luisenstr. 14 Fax: ++49 89 5902-450 80333 Muenchen, Germany E-mail: [log in to unmask] ____________________________________________________________________
