I did not call for the elimination of "all" chemical controls just apistan and checkmite. we
still have OA, Formic and Apiguard.
If you call published papers that prove these materials harm reproductive abilities of drones
and queens ideological that is your call but for many of us its the final word.
What I find very hypocritical is a bunch of beekeepers blaming Bayer for their crappy bees
with no science to back up their claims about Imid when meanwhile back at the ranch they
have used or are using Bayer Checkmite.
