>>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.
