Acetic Acid Fumigation

[simplyhoney]

Mike G and I are still very curious about Acetic Acid fumigation and any results anyone has had in regard to cleaning equipment that seems to be infected with the cause of "CCD" I was telling Mike that I had heard of a large commercial operator in Texas that has been feeding Acetic Acid in his syrup at a rate slightly higher than that of Apple Cider Vinegar and syrup. He is a large migrator beekeeper who goes to California for pollenation, yet this past winter his bees appearently where far above average unlike most many of us.
Any info would be great.

Acetic acid fumigation is common in the UK, for control of Nosema. You should ask Dave Cushman, or Chris Slade on either Bee-L, or the Irish Beekeeping list.
