Hello Friends,

There has been some discussion here recently on Formic Acid.  I heard (from
one of the bee supply companies) that the formic acid gel packs were not
really reliable yet.  The package is subject to leaking and the acid will
diffuse at different rates, depending on temperature.  If this is so, I
believe the packaging issue can be resolved quite easily by improvement in
the manufacturing process.  Now, what about the differing rates of diffusion?
 I live in Florida.  The heat (and humidity?) might really cause a problem
compared with a cooler climate. Does anyone here have experience with the new
gel packs?
