I'm in agreement with Bob re thymol.
Instead of rims, we apply half a dose of Apiguard between the brood boxes,
where the temperature is relatively constant.
I don't agree with the statement made by someone a few days ago that formic,
oxalic, and thymol were ineffective. I make my living off my hives, and
don't use synthetic miticides.
