>  Any beekeeper knows treating mites on bees with  alcohol  does not have the same effects as powdered sugar for treatment. I hate the sugar for a simple reason,  when your done,  if you shook hard enough to get the mites,  those bees are pissed.

I am not sure what you are getting at here. With sugar the bees are pissed, with the alcohol they are dead. I prefer the ether roll because it's less messy and more thorough, but most people prefer sugar because the bees don't die
