Check the archives, salicylic has been tried many times. Also, oil of
wintergreen is popular mite "cure"

Item #38297 (26 Jan 2002 14:15) - History of AFB

In Gleanings, Nov 1876, I found the first mention of the use of salicylic
acid for foul brood. "The discoverer of the remedy cured 25 badly affected
virus of the disease will have been efficiently destroyed. [they] used the
salicylic acid as a preventative against foul brood, having mixed it with
the sirup."

In the 1913 book many *cures* are described, including honey mixed with
salicylic acid, salicylic fumigants, carbolic acid, shaking method, etc.
