    Regarding the mechanism of action of FGMO on honey bee parsitic
mites:
    It is not necessary to compare/contrast FGMO with other forms of
treatment. FGMO acts mechanically on mites depriving them of vital
biologic needs and definitely, it does not affect capped larvae. In my
11 years working with FGMO, I have not observed any effect on uncapped
larvae either. The same observation applies to adult bees, drones and
queens: no adverse effects at all as long as FGMO is applied in the
format described consecutively in the protocol that I have developed. Of
course, FGMO will definitely kill bees if it is applied in large
dropplets by whichever form or applied directly on bees.
Very best regards and God bless.
Dr. Rodriguez
