> You don't have to go to India to get Neem oil
In Veracruz (where I live), Mexico Neem is grown everyplace, it is a
common bush and some cattle raisers sometimes use it to control ticks
and arthropod predators. I think they boil the leaves, and then use the
liquid "sprayed". I donīt know if it works for them.
I thought about Neem and varroa while thinking about all what is needed
to use formic acid: gloves, mask, separate sealed and open brood, put in
a sealed chamber, etc. I donīt think it is a friendly substance and it
works. So, I thought...maybe Neem could be another alternative, but at
least (as far as I see) itīs a lot to read and to experiment ahead
before it gets (if it does) a real alternative.
Thanks for your comments and special thanks to Allen for being so kind,
Tere
