Hello All

For those members who may be planning on using FGMO the following posting on
the FGMO Discussion List may be helpful.

>    Way back in 1997 when I started using foggers for spraying with FGMO, I
wrote to Burgess about purchasing foggers directly for them. Their reply was
that they would only sell to authorized dealers. !!!!!!!!
>    It seems that Burgess has discovered that there is a ready market for
them in the beekeeping industry and they have changed their sales policy.
>   I am quite glad they have changed their policy because that means that
beekeepers in any part of the world may have access to them.
>   I am not in any kind of business, selling or buying. I do have some
foggers which I bought at retail prices (NOT wholesale from Burgess) and had
to pay states sales taxes and customs duties and shipping costs, Sorry if it
appears that the cost is higher.
>I spend a lot of personal money doing my research without any hope of
remuneration. What I can not afford is to give equipment away, for sure. Sorry.
>    A word of caution.  There are many foggers. Some of them may not be
suitable for spraying FGMO because they may produce too large particles and
would kill bees. This fact has been proven without doubt, fact that has been
aired on this forum.
>Sincerely.
