If you are interested in selling your fogger, contact me off the list.

Well,I think I will keep mine.I think it might work as a mosquito fogger!No
,actually I think there is potential as a carrier for thymol or maybe
wintergreen oil in fogging (but not when supers are on).I think it was a
Texas beekeeper(forgot the name) on Scientific/ag/beekeeping list who first
suggested thymol in the mineral oil fogger.I did the mineral oil on too
large a scale because it seemed so logical.The total lack of control has
convinced me that it is not effective in areas where there is a real varroa
problem. So I am only posting this to counterbalance the many claims of
success I keep reading on the internet,especially from those who are using
it on first year package hives.Well,Duh! Your package hive is going to be
mite free because some package producer used an effective
treatment.Allen,Forget kinder and gentler,let em have the truth with both
barrrels.It will save some grief.
