FYI

Bayer CropScience announced that it has acquired a product for the efficient
control of varroa mites (Varroa destructor) from Exosect Ltd., Winchester,
United Kingdom.

 The product is based on the innovative Entostat™ technology, a food grade
powder refined from a natural wax which is sustainably harvested from a
particular species of palm tree, combined with the miticidal active
ingredient thymol. After being spread directly onto the top of the frames,
bees start to clean the powder out of the hive. It adheres to their bodies
via electrostatic attraction. As they move throughout the hive, the powder
is distributed to other bees and onto the framework of the hive, including
open brood cells.
