 You probably already know that you can keep even thin honey-water from
fermenting by adding a spoonful of wintergreen oil or regular bleach per
gallon.Probably better for spring feeding in cold climates,though I never
noticed any harmful effects to the bees.In several years of feeding
wintergreen syrup to splits,I never saw any chalkbrood,although other
factors could account for that,it is possible the wintergreen oil exerts a
fungicidal effect.May even have an effect on tracheal mites,who knows.But
it DID NOT keep varroa under control.OR,you might say, wintergreen syrup
(along with a little Apistan)controlled varroa ...LOL.
