This statement got me wondering just how many chemicals are being thrown at
colonies by members of this list. I lack the time to search the archives to
find out, but have to ask the question whether the patient is dying from the
disease or the treatment(s)?
Not too different from what Lesley Bailey was saying more than forty years ago:
"It is not out of place to mention that although there are effective treatments, some that have been advocated, especially some of the earliest, are useless or even harmful, because they are based on inadequate tests and amateurish beliefs about the nature of the infections. The damage caused by various nostrums was sometimes believed to be the result of infections too advanced to be cured, and so increased the notoriety of bee diseases."
