Dear Allen and all
The details of 1) The impact of dusting on the development of the
colonies, and 2) The impact of sugar dusting on the individual bees
after treating them with CO2 and sugar ARE SUBMITTED TO the scientific
journals in the form of two articles for publication.

The method of dusting colonies are given in the American Bee Journal
(June 2000) section of Apicultural research. Dusting sample of adult
bees and the effect on their respiratory system is given in Apidologie
2001(2). As these Journals have the copyright of these articles you
have to find the article and read it from the Journal. I do not have
time now to write a new article for Bee-L but perhaps after a few
months.
Best regards
