>>Hivastan contains fenpyroximate, a highly effective miticide, that 
has been formulated into a "patty" delivery system. 

This stuff appears to be somewhat safe for humans 
(http://www.inchem.org/documents/jmpr/jmpmono/v95pr06.htm) in small 
amounts.

I use OA to effectively control varroa and don't plan to use the new 
chem.  I assume they have tested how much of this chem ends up in 
honey and it's effect on the queen's viability.  Is there a link 
where one can view the results?

Thanks,

Waldemar
