Info on organic beekeeping (apiculture). As I understand it, there is no
organic honey produced in the USA except for where the Food Grade Mineral
Oil is used, because the mites will kill 95% of the hive each year making it
otherwise impractical.

Introduction

This study by Dr. Pedro Rodriguez is a continuation of previous years
of investigation on this subject. This year's study introduces three
variations with Spanish honey bee colonies that have been treated
strictly with food grade mineral oil for three consecutive years.

1. Food grade mineral oil applied in fog form with a Burgess Propane
fogger at one-week intervals.

2. Food grade mineral oil applied in fog form with a Burgess Propane
fogger and with cords soaked in a food grade mineral oil emulsion
applied every three weeks.

3. Food grade mineral oil applied in fog form with a Burgess Propane
fogger and with cords soaked in a food grade mineral oil emulsion
applied once a month.
