I haven't see any. Ok for bees, not ok for me. I hope it is just a rumor.

It was granted a section 18 in south dakota-there are other states that are applying for section 3
which will be long lasting the process takes longer than section 18 which will have to be renewed in a years time
Amitraz is by far more forgiving to the bees and wax than fluvalvanate (apistan )--Amitraz is accredited for saving the commercial bee industry through its off label use- there is much concern over resistance being developed once it is used throughout the country - the delivery system will be strips at 3% with a time frame of about 42 days-most off label treatments are a quick flash type treatment of about 3 days and resistance is not a prolonged issue -
amitraz is used in europe and at present in canada-RDY-B

What this also means is that the FDA will have to change the ruling which currently states
a zero tolerance for the product(amitraz) in honey--at the current time there is no way to detect it after
a short period of time-amitraz breaks down so quickly there is only two byproducts of the chemical
that can be detected-neither of which is toxic to bees or wax--but there always remains the possibility of a synergist affect with any treatment or anything the bees get into themselves for that mater---RDY-B

We used to fly tag calves with amitraz treated tags. Didnt know I could tag a hive. Usually if one state passes it, others follow.

This was brought up at the Florida Beekeeper Conference in Tampa. They are expecting Fl to approve it for temporary use.
