<<<I have used FGMO with no other chemicals for 2 years

This dead horse revives from time to time as new people take up beekeeping
and look to the internet for advice on varroa control.What is missing from
this debate is hard scientific experimentation with controls.So I will add
my unscientific results to further muddy the waters.I experimented with
fgmo last year,fogging every two weeks on hives that showed light
infestations in spring.By August every one of those hives were crashing and
couldnt be saved.Now the reccomendation is once a week fogging.My fogger is
collecting dust on the shelf.
