I have read reports of greatly reduced (50% less) brood levels in spring
following Apilife (thymol) treatments. It also seems to be hard on the
bees- I seem to remember reports of bees moving away from the source,
sometimes bearding on the front of the hive in warmer weather.
I was considering using thymol this year, but am not so sure, given the
initial reports.
Any other data or observations?
Todd.
