Dear Beefriends,

First, this sentence contradicts to itself. If you "get rid of" something,
you "hurt somebody" and usually kill it.
Second, who is hurt more, an agent of a decease or your patient i.e. the
bees?
 
An interesting set of diagrams on account of using vegetable oil one can see
in:

(It was spread in Bee-List before 3 weeks.)
One can see the oil kills to 95% of Varroa mites and from 20 to 90% of bees.
My question is: Does the Food Grade Mineral Oil acts the same way?
Maybe, there are available similar research results in the WEB?
