Hi Tom and all.
   I have posted all my findings on beesource.com as I have developed my
work.
There are some studies made in Argentina (i. e. Angel Zola reports
better than average results in 5000 colonies treated) published in the
trade magazine
Espacio Apicola, however in Spanish.  Anyone interested in those
articles should write to the editor Mr. Fernando Esteban who I am sure
will be glad to oblige.
   Presently, I am serving as technical advisor to a veterinarian and a
beekeeper conducting a very comprehensive FGMO study with a bee yard
provided by the municipal government of the City of Azuqueca de Henares,
Spain.  These investigators expect their project to be ready for
publication (in several languages) in July 2001. I will assist/suggest
to these investigators to pursue publishing in English as well.
   Without blowing the essence of their findings, I would like to
indicate at this point that their hives do have perforated screens on
the bottoms as a means of collecting mites on vaseline coated papers for
counting.  (The bees can not come in contact with those papers under the
screens).
Best regards.
Dr. Rodriguez
