Our state Beekeepers newsletter just republished a promotional bit of
material on a product known as "Mite Solution".  It purportedly controls all
mite problems ("is a miracle treatment for both tracheal and varroa mite")
that they say is also registered with the EPA.  (Apparently this was
reprinted from The Honey Producer Magazine.)
 
I presume that this is another "snake oil" product but I am interested to
know what the active ingredient is supposed to be.  Any clues?
