I, for one, would be more than willing to do report my findings this
year, Here in Liverpool, England, we are a small, unaffected (so far)
pocket, and it seems certain that we will feel the first effects of
Varroa this season, so it seems an ideal time to start.
 
An "approved method of application" (although I realize that It's my own
responsibility) would be greatly appreciated.
 
It's also worth noting that as our local Beekeepers' branch is going to
use Apistan this year, I will be able to provide some comparison info.
