 We present data for hives treated with five different acaricides; Apiguard (thymol), Apistan (tau-fluvalinate), Checkmite (coumaphos), Miteaway (formic acid) and ApiVar (amitraz).  The results indicate that thymol, coumaphos and formic acid are able to alter some metabolic responses. These include detoxification gene expression pathways
 
reply;
Since it has been formally published through university channels that fluvalinate is a class 2 pyrthroid working to the negative, meaning stronger as temperatures get colder, bees have grave memory loss that alters metabolic repsonses for thermo heating by flexing muscles, and also movement to better food locations on frames in winter. So why wasn't this included in information given?
