Hello Kevin,
I have included three urls that list recipes for alternative mite treatments
which I hope that you would see fit to include in your cookbook. I have
just begun experimenting with the wintergreen/salt patty and the paper towel
soaked with wintergreen/canola for varroa so can't recommend them myself.
