> The very first thing I did was check the archives. Nothing much about ApiLife Var since Bob's testimonial in 2004. I just wanted to know how well it works or doesn't work. I have worked a lot with EOs and I don't believe they do much, if anything.
EO=Essential Oils.
Agreed. They can work, but weakly and unpredictably, and moreover different suppliers offer different chemical compositions and concentrations.
As for Apilife VAR, I have heard some good things, particularly if it is applied on four corners.
Google has lots:

As I said, going in, though, none of the 'soft' treatments can save a hive with loads over 6%.
That said, I really do not have a lot of personal experince. I am just repeating what I have heard.
