Regarding the following, I make no claims!
I have been asked to post this to the list. It came to me from Simpson's Bee
Supplies in Danville, Ohio.
        Essential Oil Treatments for Varroa.
        Spearmint Oil, added to sugar syrup at the rate of 15 drops per
quart. To be fed to the bees at Spring and Fall.
        Wintergreen Oil, added to sugar syrup at the rate of 80 drops per
quart. The cluster to be sprayed with a fine nozzle spray and to wet thoroughly.
        Teatree Oil, placed on a tray beneath the cluster 8-10 drops. The
evaporation through the hive repeated as necessary.
 
        These treatments were brought to my attention recently. I know there
has been work done on essential oil treatments. Does anybody wish to comment?
