The claim is that it doses bees entering the hive. But the bulk of the mites are inside with the brood. To get to the mites you're going to have to use the returning bees to vector in the acaricide and flood the hive with it. Less control and more dose variability than with a strip would be my guess. Is that an advance?The bee gate

I can see maybe a marginal use as prophylactic to stop new varroa infecting a clean hive. But that's low level and continuous exposure, i.e. ideal for breeding resistant mites. Am I seeing only the negatives?
Different delivery, but the basics of using electrostatic forces to spread the powder on bees could be useful. I can't think putting a powder that needs to stay dry at the entrance where it catches the weather is a good moveCould it be something that has lead on from this....

Yes, Bayer
The Devil's work
yes, a lot of people still take their painkiller they marketed in 1901, a really succesful product
Bayer's first major product was acetylsalicylic acid (originally discovered by French chemist Charles Frederic Gerhardt in 1853), a modification of salicylic acid or salicin, a folk remedy found in the bark of the willow plant. By 1899, Bayer's trademark Aspirin was registered worldwide for Bayer's brand of acetylsalicylic acid
Of course they do but I thought we were discussing a product that applies an insecticide directly to a bee as she enters her hive.Yes the devils work, they also produce drugs that save millions of lives a year worldwide.
They do indeed, and another one is Aspirin, there is good and bad in everything.
They didn't invent aspirin
Whilst some of their 'discoveries' have clearly been of assistance to mankind when you look at the historic profits and the protectionist nature of the Bayer corporation I don't think I'd hold them up as a beacon of philanthropy.
