>I am sorry but a LONG list of papers does not constitute proof of anything. I submit that any formic treatment harms bees to some extent, and I would like to see real evidence that brood and queen mortality has even been studied with this formulation. Where is it?
Although I agree with you Pete, that it is intuitively obvious that something corrosive enough to damage mites *should* also do *some sort* of damage to bees, I think it is fair to ask return, where is the evidence that this formulation harms the bees?
We hear about damage from flash formic, from long-term treatment like Miteaway due to weather events, and from Mitewipes, but I have never heard anyone say any such thing about Mitegone.
