>     Hi Andy , Thanks for the post , it sounds like we can learn from
this book. We never know where we will pick up some idea and where it will
lead. I'm trying some pepermint oil.It is more volatile than wintergreen
and will not last as long.The more information I have the better.
 The mite may be in trouble when we can hit it with more than one
compound. We need safe and saine ways to control the mite.A note about
these oils, if used without research info you can kill your bees. Too much
of a good thing can be bad.
