Charlie You missed the days of the food grade mineral oil, cough drops, and other 'treatments' that have come up as gospel. Everyone wants a silver bullet, and the beekeeper network spreads new ideas faster than a speeding bullet. Cell phones and the internet have just accelerated the process. Worst part of this - is one beekeeper hears about it (without necessarily seeing the original study, tells another, and so on. It's like the party game of whispering a message and passing it down the line. Even if it starts out correct, who knows what the message will be at the end of the line.
