Hello All

Peter Borst is quite right when he draws my attention to what IPM is and
what IPM is not. I suppose that we are short of a term to specify succinctly
'using treatments against varroa which do not include the use of Apistan,
Bayvarol or Coumaphos'

Could we settle for Non ABC Treatments (A Apistan, B Bayvarol C Coumaphos)?

Thus we have:

ABC Treatments.

Non ABC treatments.

IPM which include both of the above. (IPM = ABC + Non ABC)
