Yes, Ms Member, heat index or chill index, or chill factor is applied to warm blooded animals only, not objects such as water or Formic acid.
I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

Thank you Mr Van and Member for your explanations. Like 30, I was wondering also. Also thanks Ace...

I?ll just keep to myself now in my own dumb little corner for dumb people.

Hey, how do you think us "smart people" got smart?  By asking questions.  :wink:   
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.

I do understand that it?s primarily about sweat evaporation. My thinking was, possibly only mental, but I can walk outside on a humid day and the first breath is like trying to breathe through a rubber balloon. Add some gasses to that and I?d have to get away from the gasses so I can breath.

That essentially is the reason why the bees fan and beard when the formic treatment is in the hive, but their breathing systems are nothing like ours, so the analogy only goes so far.  I don't know, but I would doubt that humidity is a strain on their respiration.
