"I told the list before FGMO was tested in Missouri under a Sares grant
as
per Dr. Rodriguez method from the internet and the FGMO was a complete
failure".

I follow the list closely and learn much from the postings. Sometimes I
pick up valuable information, sometimes I laugh aloud, sometimes the
postings are long winded.

I am sure this has been stated before, but I can not let this go by without
commenting. I have used FGMO with no other chemicals for 2 years with great
success. I am not sure why the test in Missouri was a failure, but it is
obviously not that way for all of us. Many that use FGMO are simply looking
for a way to get the harsh chemicals out of the hives and away from our
bees.

"I am disappointed my friend Joe Graham (editer ABJ) published a
untested
formula for using mineral oil and thymol in bee hives".

I would question the use of Thymol being "untested." Or do you simply mean
because it hasnt been tested by someone of your choosing? I believe that
everyone has the honeybee's best interest at heart, we just pursue it
differently.

I wish you all the best in your pursuit!

Kurt
