Hello All,
Before this gets blown out of porportion I will shed some light.

In the 50's & 60's the *conconction* talked about was used to fumigate
supers in storage.

The method was even used to store supers in the USDA bee labs (bet Johnson
would not like the fact getting into his press release!)

The *conconction* is not used in a live bee hive as will kill all the bees.
Is not used to control varroa.

The *conconction* pulls all the oxygen out of the air killing all insects in
the storage area. Although *as Johnson pointed out* not a registered for use
on stored combs moth control I will be surprised if any contaimination of
comb or honey is found but could be wrong.

I have never used the method myself but know of its use.

 Bob
