Many commercial beeks use amitraz off label. It may slow egglaying down for
a few days used the way that they apply it. Otherwise, I hear of no other
negative effects.
Although I am not a chemical fan, I would like to see it registered in the
U.S.
For more information, check www.scientificbeekeeping.com under varroa,
