I wonder who attended and/or commented on the EPA FDA Product Oversight
I found only one beekeeper's comments, which begin like this:
THE PROBLEM
The majority of US beekeepers are using off-label and unapproved methods for control of varroa mites. Once beekeepers are forced into being scofflaws, each person doing and trying their own thing becomes the norm. There can be no central information base or instructions, as it’s ALL off label. No one can give directions on off-label applications
question: Where does the "The majority of US beekeepers are using off-label and unapproved methods" come from? Is this supportable in any real sense?
question: Who forced beekeepers into being scofflaws?
here he/she elaborates a bit:
So as a group, we are forced break the rules in order to save our livestock ( and thereby the nations food security also)
question: We beekeepers are forced to break the law in order to protect the nation's food supply? Isn't that stretching a bit?
