>>pplication can be purchased at a reasonable price since it was developed with taxpayers dollars. That is the whole problem right now. Private money is now needed to further produce and market this product. I was told by a gentleman actually involved in the testing this fungus, that it will never get out into the market place. It costs so much to produce. And there is not a big enough payback to make this venture feasable. Really too bad for the beekeeping industry, but thats how things go. I doubt I would pay more than $10 for the treatment anyway, and I think most beekeeper would think the same.
