Jim Fischer,
"solutions" to varroa that are "faith-based beekeeping" rather than "data-based beekeeping" (FGMO, small-cell,  acetic acid vaporization, Dump-N-brush, et al).

Reply:
Interesting, you seem to like to confuse the treatment usage of FGMO, Acetic Acid Vaporization, Dump-N-brush doping treatments, etc are.....with small cell foundation and more natural small cell combs that don't use... and where beekeepers are told not to use ALL various treatments of drugs, chemicals, acids, fungicides, bacteriacides, viral inhibitors etc, including artificial feeds,or halfway between... like sugar dusting even!!!!! for crutches!

And again, it is more then faith based beekeeping and many do keep track of their bees by observation, perhaps even more then just applying all the various dopes!

p.s. somehow over 2100 members and growing, wanting to go clean and sustainable cannot be too wrong! but only if one wants clean hives fwiw.
