I should have said

But Danish, Dutch and German beekeepers seem to be handling varroa without
fluvalinate, flumethrin and coumaphos. Some IPM treatments use chemicals
like oxalic and formic acid, but these are chemicals of a relatively more
benign type and with little or no residual effects on wax and honey. And of
course FGMO is a food grade product.
