Considering the speed the BBKA engages in new practices- . - it won’t be in my lifetime!

You and me both. Good grief it is enough when that stuff is on a piece of plastic set within the hive let alone floating about in the environment. Do we even know the risk for other insects should this stuff settle on surfaces outside of the hive?

Or the operator.

Is that even vaporising it? looks more like burning it to me, who knows what the products of that are?

The thought of putting it in a hive by any vehicle doesn't really fill me with joy

Me too, plus its a nonsense of a treatment from pretty much every angle I can think of

Looks like all us lady beeks will be ok though

When I looked into Amitraz it is one of the most used pesticides around.
Problems are that it has some rather nasty effects on women, to a point women can't work in factories where it is made.
Birth defects and other problems of that type have been found with exposure to it.
