According to Dr. Patti Elzen (Westlaco Bee Lab) in her presentation at the
ABF convention ( 1-15-03) both Apilife Var and Apiguard are being tested by
the U.S.D.A.. Early reports are at best a 80% control and temperature
dependent.

At the Vita- Europe site George posted an above 60F. temperature is
recommended for successful Apiguard treatment. Nothing is said about
humidity.
